----------------------------------------------

I am personally not involved in the hand, as I obviously folded. The player w/ Queens appeared to be solid and turned out to be a 2+2'r. As soon as the hand ended, he told the short stack how 'stupid' his call was.

I jokingly told him to be quiet(because I never talk crap to newbies, and even though I didn't disagree with his call, I thought that player was weak.)

He argued back how stupid the call was. From what I understand, here was his viewpoint:

Him: He'd rather have the small stack fold, in hopes he could continue to blind steal through the rest of the bubble and build a huge stack.

Me: I see the logic behind this, but it is extremely flawed. I'd much rather have the massive chip lead and play those chips myself, than have the small stack double up other players and leave myself with less chip equity. It seems to me, that as a big stack on a table, ALMOST anytime I can get in a 70/30 situation all in PF, I should be extremely happy with where I stand.

Thoughts?
