    Default how much should i buy in for?

    first time this has happened. i'm browsing through cake poker, and find a 6-max $100NL table with a free seat.

    here are the stack sizes.
    61bb, 55bb, 46bb, 47bb, 60bb

    how much should we buy in for, and why?

    0 bb's, who wants to play with an effective stack of 60 bbs'?

    effective stacks are around 60bb, so we don't really gain any EV by sitting with more money than them. i wonder if a short stack strategy would be more profitable against these guys. or maybe i'm just thinking this is more interesting than it really is.

    buying in for max just saves time from reloading if you lose a pot or two vs fish. still gotta play effective stack sizes though.

    maybe there's some benefits like blending in...but i'd still buy the max.

    full! when you bust a fish and a new guy joins and buys in full, you will have him covered long time
