Default Re: Ethics of Shortstacking the 2k

I don't think it is profitable.

First, you don't get quality hands often enough. The blinds will be more expensive than you expect.

Second, too often you win only the blinds and limpers money, failing to double up.

Third, you will tend to get called by hands that dominate you more often than is the case in tournaments.

Any solid played using Poker Tracker and a Heads Up Display will be able to calculate from your Pre Flop Raise percentages the kinds of hands you are moving in with and adjust their calling requirements accordingly.

If you still think it will work, then put it to the test with your own money and report back with your results.

An opinion not backed by money is worthless.
