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

Short stack strategy is a total waste of our time. [/ QUOTE ] I spend so much time table selecting/switching to get away from shortstackers. It puts me on life tilt. |

To be a good shortstacker, you need to know how to play 100bb poker.

You aren't short enough to push.
Not deep enough to play SC or PP for implied odds. Seems like the worst of both worlds. OP - you might like SNGs. |

Well I'm definitely not owning at 50 BB. I'm being owned! So far the short stack strategy has been incredibly boring to boot which causes me to overplay when I actually have a hand.
Thanks for the advice on going straight to 100 BBs. I'm reading the microlimits Anthology thread now and will start playing with a bigger stack. |

Vix has a reasonable point - at some point we may all reach our poker potential and find the only way to move up to the next limit is by playing a shortstacking strategy. ImsaKidd does very well at 200NL+ shortstacking and is well known in BBV for it.
However at the micros it's not worth using a strategy that will: 1. Not really teach you how to play 2. Make you roughly 1-2PTBB/100 (plus rakeback!) 3. Put your bankroll through more crazy swings than the playground at a mental instituion. Instead learn how to play the turn and river well with a bigger stack, and make 4-5PTBB/100 with much less variance. Your bankroll will thank you in a few months. |
