Re: Negreanu\'s Folly?
Correct poker is about making correct decisions. If you play loose when starting out or just do not do well with a larger stack you are making a correct decision when buying in for the minimum. If you read Barry Greenstein's book he will tell you that he also buys in for the minimum and explains the pros and cons of it. No one is saying that buying in for a large stack is wrong for everyone. I believe that we all need to understand what type of player we are and adjust our buyins, game selection, general style, etc to what fits us with the game we are in. Im sure there are times when someone like Greenstein will buy in for the maximum when he feels like it is to his advantage.
