Big Stacks play stupid and for him that was a stupid play. HOWEVER - I understand where you are coming from completely. Malmuth and Sklansky both say there is nothing srong with being a short stack and I can see both side's of the coin. For ME - bing short staked is an anti tilt deal. And the gambling thing, well, buying insurance is gambling, just legal gambling, you are betting you will have an accident. In fact my father-in-law found happiness when he totaled his mini-van. HE WON!! ALI-G - oddly that is WHY you should have a small stack. Big Stacks play stupid and for him that was a stupid play.

Firstly Poker is Gambling no matter which format you play under, and secondly I think NL provides the same amount of swings and bad beats as limit. Another thing I would like to give you a tip on is to take the maximum bankroll to the table even if it means moving back down to a level you feel you dont belong there. I give this warning as I recently had a big stack call my limp, reraise, allin preflop with K6 offsuit and he 4 carded a 8 high straight. I asked him how he could possibly call that odds and his answer was simple, "You didnt bring enough money to the table. I wouldnt of called the allin at $500 but a $100 buyin says your not used to playing at this level and likely a fish so i was happy to play my K high given the odds I was getting" Great article Grinder, a few things I disagreed with but you will always get that :-).
