Is having a big stack an advantage in a capped buy-in game?

assuming reasonable blinds and buyins relative to the finite bankroll - the finite bankroll would typically grow indefinitely.

Not if the infinite stack moved in everytime. Regardless of how much the finite stack bet eventually a series of losses would occur that wiped him out. Someone mentioned the Martingdale system. The interesting thing about the Martingdale system is that it works. Well it would work if there was no limit to the amount one could bet. The infinite bankroll belongs to the general public not the Casino. The Casinos know this and it is one of the reasons that table games are usually capped at 2^7. Maybe the important thing here is that there is a relationship that requires the smaller stack to adjust, in some manner (which is what the Casino in effect does), to a disparity in stack size. Most here do not agree that the big stack has an inherent advantage so I'm probably wrong but ...

BTW... The Casino knows that one day a shooter will walk up to one of their dice table and break their bank. If it happens to be this crap shooting buddy of mine I will never hear the end of it. "You see" he will say, "I told you my system works"
