Ding, ding, ding. Linchpin to the argument, right there.
How so? This is nonsensical. If I'm misunderstanding, someone please explain it to me. 20bb is 20bb, and it doesnt matter if its 2NL or 2k NL. Arguing that shortstacking doesnt make much money is just... silly... I guess I just don't understand the argument.
You win fewer BB with your premiums and race or break-even with the rest of your raising range. You also piss away the extremely profitable set hunting hands (22-99).
I guess if you can continue to get called by people willing to dump 20-50BB with AJ pre-flop or goad people into calling then you are good here. I think the regs will adjust. I guess we are all exploiting the fish anyway. I just don't call guys like you without TPTK. I will call other short stackers in that situation with less, and I don't mean the ones who do it with a strategy in mind. I think it is easy to distinguish the two very quickly at a table.
