FTP Doug: Petition for min buy-in increase on cash tables from 20bbs to 40bbs

Ok, so I'm usually the guy who writes in these threads that if you can't beat the shortstackers then you suck and need to find a way to adapt. But I can't take it anymore myself.

I just played a session where I had at least 2-3 shortstacker shovebots on all 6 of my tables. Playing against one of these players is manageable, but once you have 2 or 3 at your table the game is basically turned into a flip fest. This takes much of the advantages/fun of playing deeper stacked poker out of the game, not only for myself but for the other players that are deep. With a 20bb shovebot to your left it makes you much more reticent to 3bet light. They kill your implied odds in several pots. And overall make the game tighten up significantly. Plus they do the lamest thing ever and insta-leave the game when their 99 out flips your AQ.

So can we please have an option for regular 100bb max buy-in tables that require players to sit with at least 40-50bbs? At the moment we only have options for regular, cap, and deepstack.

Cosign if you're also on board.

they do have deep stack cash tables, amazing to me so many ppl have problems with a 5-1 chip advantage

dont know why the game would tighten up either, you cant just let them raise ur blind every orbit and just fold to them, be more willing to take flips and just shove on them (do this a couple times and theyll stand up and leave)...their just beating u and ur tightness, their opening range and their reshove range are two very different things...
