Short stackers continue to plague the world of online poker despite all the recent legal drama. These players are in it to annoy you and make money not play poker. Well at least not poker you want to play too.
A short stacker is someone who always goes with the minimum bet when playing poker. It makes it harder for other players to raise the purse and is downright frustrating for those who want to work on skills not indulging time waster.
Short stackers can make a lot of money annoying online poker players. Professional ho like to bet big will drop out of a game and accept the loss rather than continue playing. This is what the short stacker actually wants as they don't know how poker really works.
Typically, short stackers bid have their game already mapped out before they reach the table. They ruin the spontaneity of a game and make their opponents wish they hadn't laid down a penny.
Another problem with the short stacker is their predetermined win and walk amounts. Most short stackers leave the game as soon as they reach their pre determined win amount. This is usually double what they started with. Leaving in the middle of the game is super annoying.
Okay I know some short stackers out there are just trying to learn the game. They are unsure what to bet and don't want to lose all their chips before they have learned anything. I get that but would suggest reading a few poker blogs in advance of playing online in order to avoid making enemies.
If there is a short stacker at your table its p to you how you proceed. You can play or pull out. But be sure you don't seem like a short stacker yourself by choice to leave.
