Stars 5/10NL game is soft
So, I'm screwing around with the little bit of money I have at stars, decide to buy in for the min. at 5/10NL. First time I got up to 400, and a guy called a 375 dollar raise preflop with AQo. Then I rebuy for a couple hundred more and this hand comes up...lots of loose calls preflop in this game..BBuddy had Q5

It's a popular misnomer that buying in for a short-stack leads to a significant disadvantage.

Generally, screwing around = -EV Paul

Re: Stars 5/10NL game is soft
You lost $375, why the over-bet? KK? I'd never toss my whole stack in PF, that is bad NL player move...
Only a premium hand can call that, AQ is premium to some people and they shot you down... At first I thought you were the Q5 moron player... YIKES! >Trainwreck<

YIKES! >Trainwreck< [/ QUOTE ] The 375 dollar overbet was due to the fact that: A: I was out of position B: There were a number of players then a raise to 40 by a very poor player C: I had QQ

[/ QUOTE ] You might want to think next time before responding like this to someone as good as theGrifter. He has reasons for his plays, and they don't come from blanket statements such as, "I'd never toss in my whole stack preflop." Justin A

... what the hell were u holding? TT is all I can think of, and that's not really a good all-in preflop hand.
