SSS

who ever invented short stack strategy should of been shot at birth. Its so annoyin to find that 6 players on a full ring game are short stackers. Whats more annoyin is that these short stackers are shoving so light at times eg:

*Playin NL10 FR and its folded all around to the SB who has $2. He ships in $2 to try win $0.15 (great strat btw lol). I have AJs in the BB and call. He shows 92o. Now everytime it's folded around to his SB now he's jammin that $2 in every time. I would love to call him lightly but thats a leak in my game which im fixing.
Whos bright idea was this tho? Because i've seen so many SS'ers doin this in late pos going all-in and sometimes there doin it with rubbish. One dude even shoved 15BB's in a EP w/ J5s. He beat my AKo. Grrr. But what a noob.

It jus seems like these short stackers on stars are shoving in with any pair, most time premium hands and alot of rubbish aswell.
Is there strat tryin to p!ss ppl off or is it the same old "risk less $$ to win $$"

Seriously tho this strat rubbish IMO. Are they too scared to jam in a 100BB stack and loose or are they jus happy winning 20BB's?

I mite move over to FTP bcos they have 30BB minimum dont they? But wont u jus get 30BB short stackers then? Argh I hate them and my head hurts!!!

...a lovely area called bad beats and vents,,,check it out

Short stackers that are goin all in with terrible cards and your complaining? :O

I'll take those SSers from you if you want. :O

I also was annoyed by these people and when they hit they leave. So I searched for someone that had just hit me for $5 and then left, he was playing like 15-20 tables and was sitting with $5 at all of them. I see goldstar and platinum star players doing this as well so it got me thinking why they do this, well I tried it and found that buying into 10+ 25nl tables with $5 and shoving with pairs for 15 minutes I was able to earn 20 vpp's.
Now I don't know if this is why they do it, but every night for 1/2 hour or so I do this to pump up my vpps faster.

30BB SS's aren't anywhere near as big a problem as 20bb SS's because they can't shove as light.

FWIW, most of the players you're playing against aren't following SSS, they're just buying in short and playing bad.
