Thanks rb, I think I'm beginning to understand now. Believe me I'm no expert on shortstacking either, and like you I'd be very interested to hear an experienced shortstacker's thoughts on this.

I'm beginning to think that shortstacking, although obviously easier in some respects than playing with a deeper stack, is not actually quite as simple as it's sometimes painted. If this is the case I wonder if the payoff is worthwhile? Maybe it's just better to take a little more time to learn how to play the game 'properly'?

It may be a good idea to begin a new post about this and direct it towards the authors of the book.

Cheers
