25/50 NL on stars

[gabe]

i think playing short stack is alot more effective in shorthanded games than full ring games

isn't it easier to camp on a full ring table?

yea, thats what all the regulars in the 25/50 game do mostly anyway so there aren't many adjustments for them to make, but the aggressiveness of shorthanded games makes preflop decisions much more important

[johnny_fish]

is anyone on here trying to full stack this game at all, or would it not be worth trying?

Well.. I guess you'll need a 200K+ BR to play it comfortably.

Lol. You should put that in your sig aces.

[andr3w321]

I know you stacked him with AA vs KK too. So is this #2 vs the champ or are there more?

[zenbitz]

I have been reading Sklanksy/Miller NL T&P... he practically advocates short-stack ninja strategy, especially when moving up or playing higher limits than you are used to.

[dwags222]

He also says a bot playing shortstack could beat even the toughest nl games...which i find intriguing.

[Genitruc]

Can anyone explain any reason why the straight vs straight hand in the snake vs muppet conversation was cancelled and bets returned? I had a peek at the $25/$50 table on Stars last night and noticed a cancelled hand there too.

It's prolly the next hand, muppet sitouts without money, and snake gets his blinds back.

[andr3w321]

$2500 on RED please!

[Stripclubjunkie]

I will be shor-stack ninjaing if I get on.

How many bets do you buyin for when you're ninjaing?

[givememyleg]
