Cash tables minimum buy in

Have you ever watched late night poker, you get people like the recreational poker players who BI for 100k, and then you get the pros that are like Daniel Negreanu, Buying in for 1 Million...... im prety sure this show is a classic case of short stackers vs Deep stackers...... Deep stacking enables you to use all your weapons, for instance suited connectors, even suited cards with 1-2 spaces, your power cards, set minings......

now the way it works is, a short stacker raises, maybe even all in, if he gets 4 callers then you can still use your set mining cards, your suited connectors, and all that if less then 4 people call, you can only use strong hands.

Now for the clever part..... most short stakers are recreational / bad players / fish / donks whatever you wanna call them, they will come in with 20BB and limp in, call raises light etc etc, you can seriously make some good money from these if you play the right cards, you can raise there blinds and force them to put more in, and then raise any flop, see if they like there flop etc etc, and win lots of small blinds, remember because they are short stacked, they cant afford to re raise you unless they have something ^_-

Then of course you must watch out for the deep stackers who are doing the same as you, so then your having to play the players...

sounds like a table full of small stacks and deep stacks is a perfect form of poker, showing all elements to the game

Isnt a big problem on Sky poker yet anyway, so doesnt make a huge difference yet. But I think it would be good to follow Pokerstars tables, 40-100bb standard and 20-50bb tables for shorstacks. I dont think people should not be allowed buy in short if they want but only that they should have their own tables, so they dont gain an advantage on deepstacks. But maybe Sky doesnt have enough players for that yet. For now I might give some shortstacking a go later:).....see how I do.

Still it comes down to "because I can't beat short stackers, I want it changed"

Shortstackers have a big edge at the lower levels where there is lots of dead money in most pots, and players that will call 20BB with mediocre hands
