Do you consider 50 BB to still be a "short stack"?

not really. let me put it this way: having two 50 bb stacks to your right and two full stacks to your left would not be a very significant disadvantage. two 20bb stacks, on the other hand, most definitely would be.

Slotboom devised his short-stacking strategy playing in a 50 BB minimum buy-in game.

Yeah, but he was playing in a live game that probably saw much larger BB pots preflop than the online game most of us play. Did the game have a straddle in it to?

Actually his regular game had a single $2 blind (in the $100 min game) and a single $5 blind (in the $200 min game). From how he describes there was a lot more pre-flop raising that I've found in most online PLO100 games. Not to say his games were overly aggressive. But I've seen few maniacs (or even semi-maniacs) in the Stars games.
Slotboom goes mention some 5-5-10 games. But apparently his main one was the single blind game.
