Gordon Shumway: Thanks for that link... it does make sense, I knew someone would find that my theory was wrong!
I guess its more tournament play where a big stack can bully, although he did admit that there might be a psychological advantage at the very least.
But one thing his theory doesnt address is the act of "banking"... if I have 10k and you have 1k, and we both play correctly, over time you will have to buy back in 10 times for every one time I have to buy back in..... so, you cant really "bank" under this concept, its just temporarily taking money off of the table
