shortstacking at a well run "home" game

[popeye18]

I went to a new 1/2nl game last night where most people bought in for 200. I realized right away this game was ridiculous. Utg pf raises to 50. Multiple 400+ pots won with middle pairs. These guys are gamblers and drunks. I bought in for 200 even though my cash bankroll is 1200 and i dont feel extremely comfortable playing with that much on the table.

Im curious how annoying it would be to the other players for me to go in there and buy in for 50 and play a decent shortstack strategy untill my br is big enough that im comfortable taking small ev edges with a full stack.

Also a side note... i saw a guy call 150 on a board of 101077 with 22. Player who pushed all in had kq.
