Honestly, I don't see why the big fuss and everyone crying for, you just have to adapt to them a lil different strategy wise, mind you I don't play cash games on a regular business and I do see some points you all have, but I don't think it is a big of a deal IMO.
(for the record, I always bought in for the maximum if I do dabble in them)
35bb is still too low. It should be at least 50bb. Hate short stackers.
True, but most profitable short stackers are leaving the games once they hit 40bb and very few of them are playing since the change. Playing a 35bb strategy effectively is much more difficult than playing a 20bb strategy. I don't think pushbot poker is still profitable at 35bb due to risk-reward. I assume they all went to other sites.

Well, you can't play proper deep stack poker if you are 150-200bb deep and someone is 20bb deep. So it is nice that it has been changed somewhat by FTP.
The problem with short stacks is that the online sites have fostered an eviroment that has allowed them to flourish with rakeback and vip programs that reward them so heavily.
sounds like some of you guys that buy in at max, dont like getting prawned by the short stack strategizers
you cant "prawn" someone as a shortstacker. by playing as a shortstacker you implicitly recognize a lack of skill. theres nothing morally wrong with being a shortstacker, and theres nothing wrong with taking advantage of an unfortunate loophole allowed by the online sites. but dont put on airs. the parasite has to live too, but nobody is gonna recognize the fly on the elephant as equals.

Agreed,
Sites *love* short stackers.
They make more money from someone short stacking 18 tables than someone full stacking 9.

Guess my next tilting session won't be on FTP.

That's not true at all online. Many players make a good living playing the standard 20bb strategy.

They've added the new "Shallow" tables.
I'd rather play deep stack but...
Some of the most fishy tables are the shallow tables...
Likely, if all the shortstackers are sitting at 20-40bb trying to use their previous strategies which don't work without full stacks at the table.
bwahahahaha! Please, make sure to post the place and time so we can all watch the hilarity of you getting your ass kicked.
