Re: committed to 99
I agree that this method of playing can be effective, especially for those who are less comfortable with their post-flop play.
For one, I play very carefully with short stacks, knowing that they want to catch their monster and push. I'm sure most players are cognisant of this fact, which consequently lowers the effectiveness of this type of play.
For a big stack, its not desirable to sit at a table where, if you play a hand well from start to finish, you can only make 20-40 bb because the villain did not buy in in full; hence, the animosity of many toward the small stack types.
Basically, those who buy in for full consider small stacks somewhat of "pests" bc it is difficult to read them (some are willing to go all in with little) and bc when they are correctly played against, little money is made anyway!
In conclusion, I hate shortstacks.
