next time you might want to buy-in in full or push preflop.

You would bet 20BB preflop on TT?
[/ QUOTE ]
not really, but considering youre most likely going to see overcards on this flop, it's not exactly the best hand to play postflop with a shortstack.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, can we agree that betting say 7BB with TT in this situation is better?

yeah i think it would force more people out of the hand, but i still hate playing TT postflop with a shortstack and not be guaranteed to be HU.

I agree with all the arguments put forward as to why short stack play hobbles you.
But I bought in short.
Why?
1. New *underground* casino. I'm not saying that it's crooked. I'm just saying I don't know.
2. I consider myself able to hold my own playing a shortstack Ed Miller style.
3. I recognized 2 loose players. The fodder of correct short stack play.
4. I usually buy in short, test things, make observations *then* go kill the game. Do you guys buy in full into an unknown situation?
I'm not saying that the arguments put forth for buying in full are not valid. It's more +ev for a good player to buy in full. I'm just trying to explain why I bought in short in this situation.
What I'd really rather do is find some home games around Toronto/Hamilton so I don't have to go to underground casinos.
