NL buyin on NL game?

Someone please go ahead and correct me if i'm wrong.
But isn't it true that if you have $2000 and your opponent has a $100,000, that you are basically for the moment playing with 2K stacks. I mean it should'nt really make a difference and there is probably a ton of ways to exploit your shortstack to make money, i.e. get in with the best of it and let two big stacks duel it out for the side pot (dont usually see 4 or 5 handed in proper big bet games anyways).

NOT TRUE!! If there is no cap on the buy in, people can raise you your car, your house, and your first born child! If you can't match the bet, then your hand is dead.

Table stakes is for the minor leagues.

I once heard that at the big game, Phil Ivey won Daniel Negraneu's soul when his two outer hit on the river.

Waaah. If you can't cover the table then play in a lower limit game. There are plenty of short stack strategies floating around the forum look them up. NL is supposed to be played big, and if you don't like it Trump casino in Gary, Indiana has a 2/5 game capped at 200.

It's funny how a guy can ask a simple question and get attacked for it. For those who answered my question thank you. I don't travel at all so I have only been to a couple casino's. I don't claim to know eveything or even alot about poker, and that is why I am here asking questions.

There's a cheesy Jamie Fox, Stallone card Movie called Shade in which Stallone and this other guy are mechanics playing in big time games without table stakes......it's pretty cheesy and pretty...rediculous.

[Big_Jim]

LMAO, I've seen that movie.

Didn't they switch the marked cards on him at the end?

[capone0]

Yeah, Stallone starts with KK and gets QQ on the board, other guy gets JJJ, Stallone somehow gets QQQ to magically win.....rofl.

Have you even read Super System, or do you just like Doyle's sweet cowboy hat and floppy neck skin?

The NL game that Doyle refers to in that book has no cap.

I dont know for sure. But ithink the game the OP is talking about, is not the wager your wife game ala shade that you are referring to sir.
I.e. you can buy in for a million if you want, but my $100 plays your $100. Which is different from the online NL game that we know (i.e. set max buy in, usually 100BB).
i thought your orignal reply was just being sarcastic or joking in some manner, if i'm mistaken then i apologise in advance and stand corrected. Then it would be a gruesome game where the richest man with cash on hand cant loose???
