why don't you just tell us about it?

Uh, I'm not going to get too wordy about it now (gg laziness) but Sklansky and Miller basically claim that short stacks have the advantage in NLHE ring. Apparently you could play almost robotically-tight with a short stack and show a profit in even some very tough games. A very good player would make more with a deep stack against other deep-stacked opponents, so playing short would significantly affect his rate. But it is still +EV over the long run.

It would seem that the only reason to buyin deep, is because the bad players are.

P.S. Just go buy the book you nits.

you were supposed to scan every page and photobucket it.....what's the name of the book again?
