Yes I think you all have valid points, I’ve hit a bad patch at the moment and I’m probably looking to blame everyone but myself. Like what is mentioned above I do find a lot of big the bigger stacks who maybe have double my stack or more do tend to flip trash hands and land them and I think this is what’s causing me to think that the big stacks are given some kind of advantage by the program. Is this play recommmended? And if so what kind of cards would people be playing that they wouldn’t if they were short stacked?
It all depends on the situation. Blinds get high and a lot of the time it's profitable to jam any two cards into shorter stacks if they are playing tight. Just stealing from them relentlessly until they wake up with a hand... if they resist with any top 10% of hands (which is still a little loose sometimes when it comes to people's "tournament life") that means 9/10 shoves go through uncontested, when they call you have around 40%
equity so it's hugely profitable in these scenarios.
If you mean they are calling off shortstack shoves, my guesses are A. You are playing
freerolls B. You yourself do not understand proper calling ranges vs shortstacks because if playing "properly" they should be pushing superwide. The problem is not all shortys know how to play push/fold so you get the situation where they are shoving super tight but people are calling off thinking the shover should be pushing almost any 2 cards.
So you end up with a bigstack calling off shoves with some crap like Q7os, because Q high is a snapcall vs an any two cards shoving range. But the shover waited for hours to get AK... Q on the board and "omg, this is so rigged for the bigger stacks", when in actuality it's the shorty's fault for blinding themselves down to nothing waiting on a hand and not really giving the big stack an option but to call off their 4bb shoves, then the shorty loses a 60/40 which isn't all that unrealistic at all.
I hope this makes sense to you, it makes sense in my head anyways lol
