I don't get people like this. I spent most of the afternoon playing cash HU yesterday and a lot of the time people sit down with 20 when they can sit down with 50 or sit down with 25-35 when the max is 100 but the go and refill 3 or 4 times. why not sit down with the max? If you are scared of losing all your bankroll if you were to sit down with 100$ (or if it would be money you can't afford to lose out of your bankroll) then you shouldn't be sitting down at those tables IMO.

[SupaMonkey]

Jonny Newbe, that's your name on tribeca isn't it boldie?

I actively search out tables full of people who have either bought in for less than the buy-in, or have lost some of their stack and so are below the maximum stack.  Sitting down with the biggest stack is not only a pyschological advantage for me, but it means I've got the opportunity to maximise what I win when I win.

Had one fella yesterday who sat down with $100 on the $200 max buy-in tables, and he lost his whole stack, rebought for another $100 and proceeded to lose that too.  Would he have lost it all so easily if he'd sat down with $200 to start with?  Probably, but I'd have thought he'd have had a better chance if he's bought in with the max to start with.

Or is there another reason why people sit down with less than the max buy-in?

fear..that's the only one. they are not comfortable sitting down with the max amount because they think "I could donk this all off in one go or get one bad beat for my entire stack". that is the only reason they sit down without putting the max amount in front of them when they are willing to refill.

but then why refill? surely that's kidding yourself? "I sat down at this table with a 5'er and now I'm upto 50$ so I must be doing great?" That doesn't count when you refilled 10x
