Buying in for More in NL Cash Games

Danny Negreanu wrote a nice post dispelling the common misconception that having a massive stack in a NL cash game is an advantage.
I played 3 1/2 hours of live 1-2NL Friday evening, coming out -$21 for my troubles. I made one brilliant play, one atrocious play, and one weak play - I decided they were so un-debateably uninteresting and obviously wrong that it made no sense to write the details, but it was good to get back in the flow after a month off - and to tune up for my trip to Vegas November 5th.
I think I finally decided what game I should challenge Negreanu to while I'm at the Wynn: Follow the Queen (yeah Bones, that joke was just for you.)
NYC's largest poker club was busted Friday night. 2+2 thread here. Daily News report here. In any case - this sucks for the future of live poker in NYC.

you missed my point G. The point was that players who say "it's not fair that HE has such a big stack - that gives him an advantage" have no clue... Danny does a good job describing why this is a fallacy - a big stack does not create positive EV.. it's basically that simple.

gees so sensitive. Ok, yes big stack does not all by itself create +EV, but if you have +EV anyway you should probably have a big stack.
