Default Theory- Optimal Shortstacking Strategy

So lately I've been having trouble playing deep, and have lost ~half my roll.

In order to counter act this, I used basic logic. I thought to myself, "If I usually run KK into AA and lose, next time I will simply buy in for less, so that when I get KK and I know he's got AA- I will lose less money!" This theory is something that I was hoping not to reveal to this forum, but with the recent difficulty of the games, I thought I could possibly get some insight increase my winrate (previously ~0.31 bb/100) by talking seriously about shortstacking.

I've spoken to some of the greatest short stackers of all time (Black Winter Day, Fatal Error, TheClone, TheClone, TheClone, and TheClone), and we have constructed the perfect short stacking strategy. At the peril of being flamed by you all, I have decided to reveal our top secret conversations to the rest of the forum:

Long ago, I spoke with an ancient Indian gambler, named Senojea. He informed me that to find optimal short stacking was hidden within this map of a mysterious land called Ainrofilac, pictured below:



However, It will not be easy to get to this ancient land. In order to find the land, you must use antennas. If you do not have antennas accessible, simply use household steak knives and stick them in your head, like shown below:

(Be sure to jam the knives in hard. If they don't go in at first, have a buddy push them in for you)

Lastly, the map should lead you to an ancient building. There is a good chance that the building will be burning, but never fear. You should enter the building immediately. The building will look like this:


If you truly want to learn the optimal short stacking strategy, just stay there.

You realize that it took five or ten minutes and I'm trying to put off studying for an 8am final?

And just think of all the awesome things you could have done with that 5 or 10 minutes!
