[ QUOTE ] This is why I tend to take the approach that I do. I dont sit down with the max buy in, nor the minimum, usually double the min or half the buy in. If I can project an image of weakness with that alone, good for me, I'll show my strength later, after I've doubled or tripled up. [/ QUOTE ] If you are a winning player, you should always be buying in for the max. Why would you want to limit the amount of money you could win when you hit your hand? The 5% doubt that you put in a few players minds as to whether or not are a good player, is not worth the $100 you miss out on when you are doubling up your half stack rather than if you had a full stack. When you've "doubled or tripled up" your half stack, you should be thinking to your self "I'd have twice as much money right now if I just bought in for the full amount". [/ QUOTE ] I see your point. Never thought of it like that either. |

donks can get lucky and get themselves a big stack. don't judge the book by it's cover.
when you hit your big hand and get your chips in the middle do you want your opponent to have a short stack or big stack? |

In the example you gave where you have the only full stack and everyone else is $100 the problem of implied odds makes it difficult for you to enter the pot. A $16 bring-in means you are looking at 6-1 implied odds if you hit. Plus when you win a couple of small pots you're up against some really short stacks. These players are subject to shoving pre-flop or shoving the flop with anything.
In a full game you may have to put up with this for a while when a short stack buys in, but they won't be there long. I'm not entering a game unless the table is pretty well stacked. |

![]() There's nothing worse than having two stacks that refuse to get more than 10 or 15 BB on my left. Just totally crimps my style, and throws my game off. I spend too much time being pissed at the shortstacks that I usually miss a good opportunity somewhere. |
