50 BB Short Stack Strategy

[SilentThunder]

I'm making the transition from limit to no limit and want to test out Ed Miller's short stack strategy. He's advocating a 25 BB or less buy in for your short stack. The microlimits I'm playing at require a 50 BB buy in minimum. Relative to the rest of the table I'll still be a short stack. Relative to the BB I'm twice as big as is advocated for the strategy.

I can see this will require me to make more decisions on the later streets which has it's benefits and disadvantages. How much of the short stack strategy is dependent on your stack size relative to the size of the BB vs. your stack size relative to the size of your opponents' stacks? Is a 50 BB short stack strategy viable when your opponents are in the 50 to 250 BB buy in range?

Dont waste your time learning to short stack. Just learn 100 bb play, its infinitely more profitable if played correctly. Not to mention you look like a tool for short stacking micros and everyone is going to hate you because short stackers kill games.

There is still post flop play with 50bb and you will need to play flop/turn.

All the advice on 2p2/CardRunners is for 100bb.

Why not actually try to learn poker right from the start instead of unlearning bad habits.

50bb will prob having you always stacking off with TP.

You need to learn when to fold these hands.

Just start playing 100bb at 2nl, 10nl or w/e.

Download the 2p2 vids (over 80), read the SSNL digest posts and start pwning.

Short stack strategy is a total waste of ur time. When u get better at poker u'll understand. For now, just obey.

I spend so much time table selecting/switching to get away from shortstackers. It puts me on life tilt.

you should go to the euro sites and play where they have 10bb minimum.
