The answer is simple mate...
Just think if u have a big stack, with whom u would want to play???
Against a small stack fellow or a fat stack fellow???
Large stack=more for grabs,
Small stack=less to grab...

Hope u got it mate...

Just a brief sighting! All should tremble at the thought of me comin back round! After meditating under a waterfall in Japan for a year, my already formidable skills at bankroll busting have now reached a level beyond mortal players ability to comprehend!

I would think they are unpredictable and very willing to take chances with marginal hands risking your chips with little regard for their own.

I like to try to wait them out.

"Nonsense. It's not a problem of skill. Most deepstack players are a lot more skilled than the scumbags who shortstack."

Please tell us how you really feel about SS.
LOL

I think it is rather well put.

how to play with AA, I bet all-in and 45% lose, can you advise me what to do?

 

[Fuffufnick]

Stick, the problem to me comes with the mixed stack sizes. If you have a short stack sitting beside a big stack it gets awkward. If I have a tight short stack to my left, I'll minraise to steal. If there's a big stack beside, a min raise gives him good implied odds. If I raise normally because one of the blinds is a full stack, the short stack can easily shove or at least raise and commit himself postflop.

And the loose ones that you run across are not the good ones, they're just bad players afraid of losing more money. The good ones are the ones who can pressure by raising/reraising/shoving while offering no implied odds.

Then, as mentioned, once they double up they can't play their game anymore because they start offering more implied odds, so the leave and rathole their winnings.

hehehe... after reading this I might try SSing myself

If short-stacking can cause such tilt, it might be the way to go

What I meant is very well answered by sindri below


The main reason I don't like them is that I mainly play poker for relaxation and enjoyment, and while having an enjoyable game with ppl that have brought in at the table limit up pop's a SS who then proceeds to shove almost every hand, which changes the mood of most players at the table, the good source of cash comment was made as alot of these type of SS's are shoving with rubbish more than 50% of the time, Ive had them stacking off with 79os and lesser cards.

****Edit****
After reading Belgo's last I just want to clarify that I am not delusional, I am though a Micro player, at 25nl most of the time.

I also play for enjoyment but i wouldn't mind having some extra money in my sportsbook and lock accounts . I have little input in this matter but thanks you for my recognition of this i will need to set some higher standard ground rules for this higher stakes action..... if i get there good luck all!
