Default Too restrictive

I have heard this before, but it is way too restrictive.

Easy money is there for the taking at low buy in NL games. Get on a site, look for a table where there are several players playing below the buy in. On party, it is not hard to find a table with 6-7 seats with players who buy in with $20-$40 when the maximum buy-in is $100.

Get a good hand and put them all in. They will call with Ax, QJ, 78, etc. Just last night, I went all in with JJ and was called with someone holding K5o. He had $34 and then bought in again for $20. A few hands later I put him all in with my 66 and he called again with K5, though suited this time. He typed in "K5 is my lucky hand." Not anymore, I guess.

It may not seem like much, but taking $20 at a time adds up real quick.
