This poster brings up an interesting phenomenon on internet poker. There are so many of these short-stacked all-in specialists at the low limits (mainly $25) buy in that it makes me wonder what is going on. It is as if some poker pro wrote a post about some simple strategy to winning online without risking very much. It is just wierd, but it really messes up the game. They tend to sit on their short stack and fire out an all in bet about every 20 hands, which tells me that perhaps it is on every pair or maybe pairs 44 and higher. Then they just reload for the minimum again.

Or maybe Ted Hoth got a Party Poker account.

They did. See Ed Miller's Getting Started in Holdem book, NLHE chapter.

I have been using it at the $400 (& sometimes $600) tables at Party/Empire. Buy in for $100 on the $400 table (25xBB), play tight, reload back to $100 once I get to $80. The object is to shrink the game down to 2 betting rounds with premium hands.

So far so good.
