What is the deal at PokerStars?

[Riposte]

Why are 95% of the people that sit down at the $25NL 6max tables buying in for the minimum?

Every table I sit at has at least 4 players with $5 or $10 stacks, and at least 90% of the new people that sit down buy-in for the minimum. Why don't they just play the $10NL tables?

Is this some kind of new fab or strategy that people think is good? It's really annoying!

They all read Greenstein's book.

they should all be playing PL. I think most of these guys are afraid of losing their stacks.

a pretty nice tell, although it leaves you unable to extract that much dough.

hmm, im curious, how did he support buying in for the min?

[RiverFenix]

I dont think he ever did support it for NLHE, but made a case for it for LHE. I believe schneids made a long post about how his theory was garbage anyway for both cases. It was posted on holdem:general if you want to search the archives, was maybe 2-4 months ago.

It was specifically geared towards LHE which makes it even funnier, intersting debate though look for the post.
