Re: How did you get that big stack?
I played on that table for awhile and was not intimidated. I doubled my stack early and won one more hand then quit $40 dollar winner after folding 30 crap hands. When they start raising every hand they are playing some lousy hands. If you can catch them and use their aggression against them you can pick up some pots. I play premium hands and lay them down on a missed flop in this situation.

Big stacks are caused by either: 1) Lots of patience and grinding. 2) When two decent sized stacks get involved in big confrontations (set vs. wrap etc) 2) A willingness to make big gambles by one or more players. The more variance you add to your game the more your stack will fluctuate both ways. Some of the players who have been mentioned as having huge stacks at certain times have also gone through many many buyins in other sessions.

However tonight, the EXACT opposite, every idiot tore me up lol.. Cost me $450 and I was + 250 at one PLO8 table until I dropped it and my buyin to OP's playing as AAA88 said (pushing average/below average stacks around with very strong drawing hands that have already connected somehwat). A 2 outter here, 3 outter there, and the killer one outter ... ugh .. Oh yeah this was stars not party as they seem to be more realistic to me lately and I am prepping myself for some B + M Play ... Figures aren't that bad when you think of NLHE, but in Omaha those were some tough hits lol .. Especially in split games and we are talking about them grabbing half the pot and instead getting their "$$$$ Card" either cause no low was out or they banked their wheel [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] Tommorrow is another day, hopefully a better one....

Re: How did you get that big stack?
BTW, That huge stack is either a very good player who plays agressive with the right hands or he is a nut. There is no in between... When u sit at the table with a stack like that make sure you aren't throwing your chips hard into 2nd nut hands against the big stack just because he seems to be pushing people around. Analyze their play for a bit... You can usually pick the maniacs out in no more than 5 minutes.. Some maniacs will hibernate than go on ape [censored] binges. If you ahve a maniac with a deep stack be prepped to rebuy but it will be profitable, just hope he doesn't leave after hitting a lucky hand agst you.. .

Re: How did you get that big stack?
At the party poker $25 buy in games it is not uncommon to have between 4-6 people go all in on a single hand, creating at least 1 large stack (sometimes 2, due to side pots). Interestingly, 2 large stacks will often collide and go all in pre-flop specifically because 1 or more small stacks pushed the action. For example, a large stack may raise small, 4 or 5 callers, then a $25 stack will go all in, then the large stack will call or raise pot, and everyone else, including another large stack, will call all in because pot committed. (Actually, they probably go all in because they want to gamble and potentially quintiple up, and the fact they are actually getting correct odds due to all the dead money from the initial calls is of secondary concern)
