All this talk about pro short stackers cracks me up.
In 3 months shortstacking 5/10 at Full Tilt, I saw 2 guy besides my self who were even half decent at it.
I will go out on a limb and say that there arent more than 10 guys in the world who shortstack 5/10 or higher profitably. There are alot more who could, but they are playing full.
The rest of the morons you see doing it ARE NOT WINNING. So what if it changes the dynamics of the game. They are still putting money into the poker ecomony. Its not like the moderatley bad full stackers are losing at 10+ PTBBs. Most regular losers are losing at more like 1-4 PTBBs. The bad shortstackers are doing the same thing. It doesnt matter how much they lose in one hand, only how much they lose overall.
