Message: [QUOTE="Kasanova King, post: 1361505, member: 59280"] I will play short stacked sometimes, depending on the table. I'm not your typical short stacker who buys in for the minimum amount though - typically, I will buy in for 1/2 the max buy in and no, I don't run after I hit a pot - typically I won't leave the table until I triple up. Now there are a number of reasons I do this. The first is because at the lower limits there are way too many donks that can bad beat you early in a game and bust you out. It seems that whenver I buy in for the max at micro stakes I'll get dealt a hand like KK then get busted out by some donk that played A-4 off after 3 and 4 bets all the way to the river and catches an ace. Now the 2nd and more important reason is what was mentioned previosly in this thread. By having a short stack, I take implied odds away from the hyper-loose aggressive players - so they won't chase gut shots to the river after a pot sized bet....lol. [/QUOTE]
