Just wondering nil-why are you playing $2 NL with 4 guys sitting at a 1/4 the max buy in?

Aren't you at a disadvantage to 4 shortstackers when you consider risk v reward (your dope excluded).

I remembered an article about playing the short stack:

here's a link-little differentscenario as its a short stack against bigger stacks instead of a bigger stack against multiple short stacks but I don't see much reward to playing against $50 stacks:

http://www.cardplayer.com/cardplayer-magazines/65685-annette-obrestad-20-22/articles/17103-the-virtues-of-playing-the-short-stack

and Fletch-I excluded the dope because I'm presuming Nil didn't know he was a dope when he sat in. Obviously that player makes the game profitable.

The guy in all these hands is a reg. Almost all 200nl shortstacker regs are pretty bad and pretty much just grinding massive numbers of tables for SNE. Very few of them are good enough to turn almost any profit otherwise. The other guys in the KT hand are all worse than he is...

In general, though, assuming no one is that great, I certainly don't mind playing at a table full of them... their shortstacking advantage comes from sitting at a table full of full stacks, because the full stacks can't (or don't) always adjust to the shortstacks. But when it is a table full of them, everyone has the same effective stack size, and their advantage is gone. It's a bit like sitting at a cap game, actually, and I always did quite well at those when I played on FTP.

I don't necessarily seek out tables like this, but I do think they are profitable if I run across them in the lobby. I'd much rather sit at a table like this than a table full of regs.
