For you 5/10 and up players

Bored at work today and decided to watch a 25/50 NLHE table. Full table. Highest stack was about 11K. the rest were about 5k or so with one guy sitting with min buy.

What do you all think about min buy people? They pretty much abused him off the table.

there is a write up by chris ferguson on the subject. He has some great points about it .Risk management

Trust me when I say I have no intentions of sitting one of these tables.

I was curious because the table banter was pretty harsh in this guys direction. Probably due to past history but I was just wondering if players at this level see min buyers as an ATM machine, generally speaking of course.

Speaking of which - I'm watching a 10/20 table right now and just watched someone donk of 4 min buys in a matter of ten minutes.

Considering I've made about 50k shortstacking 25/50, I'm certainly fine with shortstacking.

I have a second request for you (the first was a video demonstrating )... Sometime when you have a chance, maybe you could post a thread explaining optimal strategy for shortstacking. I mean, I think I know what adjustments I'd need to make, but I'm not only curious about how you change your play, but also WHY you think it's more profitable than playing with a full stack (at a lower limit, if your response is the "taking a shot" thing).

i seriously think ive lost about 200k playing 25/50 and up its def the hardest level for me and i know ive ran way below expactation at it.

i think ill try shortstacking it if i ever rebuild enough
