I've recently started playing at Full Tilt @ NL $100 and I think that the average table has one person either at $100 or over this amount. Over the course of my stay at the table, i notice people come and go, buying in for much less than 100 (usually around the $50) mark. If the table has a majority of players sitting between $40 and $80, is there any way to use this to my advantage? I've thought about it, and all I can come up with are negatives (never being able to double up a full stack, getting worse odds for playing pockets / sc's preflop, etc...

Has anyone else noticed this on FTP or other sites? Is this the norm for NL 100 (I've only played 1k hands at the level so far)?

Thoughts appreciated

It seems to be the norm at $25, too.

its great to play against shortstacks who are chasing against your made hand. they are calling a large portion of their stack off, without the odds, and if they miss and go all you wont exactly be bluffed off the hand
