Default Ridiculous short stacks at the Party $100/$200 game

I'm not even remotely rolled to play in the game mentioned in the title but I decided to have a peek at it tonight while I played my regular games. I'm watching a table with on guy sitting with $494, one with $700 and one women (at least a female avatar) who had $500 when I opened the window and has been down as low as $200 several times. Are there really that many people playing in that game who are playing so close to the felt or just plain scared? Are these the gambling addicts Party has been trying to protect for so long with their limited selection of higher-stakes games? It's obvious to me that, in general, the people sitting with one big bet suck at the game.

How long do you suppose you $100/$200 sharks will be able to feed off of these underrolled, underskilled marks? In addition to the three tiny stacks, I see three others with 5-9 bets on the table. The game just doesn't look very healthy with so little money in play on the tables. Do you think these guys will bust once or twice and bounce back and forth between limits or will they self-destruct completely and leave the $100 pond short of fish stock?

as long as the novelty and flow of these stacks remain, they will be fine.

Last night I saw two people from my buddy list (20/40 running short) sitting at 100/200 with under 700$ in front of them. Sigh.

I'm watching them right now. It's like watching a 1-2 game. I just saw a 26BB pot get taken down.

I think a lot of people who don't normally play on the Party skin have had trouble getting money quickly enough onto Party. I know that is my problem.

deposit 2500 via neteller. hit the back button, repeat until 10k is reached. at 7500 they say "please email us a copy of your liscense so we can verify etc. etc. " complete the scan and email and you can hit back and repeat till you run outta money.

Yeah, I wonder about that aspect, too. What's this doing to the games under $30/$60 that so many of us play.
