3/5nl

[smolik75]

So my local cardroom has introduced a 3/5nl $200max game (with $1 on the button and $4 rake every hand even if there's no flop so you basically you start the hand with only $5 in play from the $9) and I'm having a tough time adjusting to it, especially from online play. I was a fairly experienced live player before I moved to online play but for the last year apparently I've forgotten how to play live poker. I just cannot get used to playing short and have had no luck finding books on the subject or even experienced players to pick their brain. The game seems pretty passive but it can be pretty aggro as well. Some fish out there, but some nits as well.

The hardest parts about the game seem to be figuring out when to c-bet and other dynamics, since you're only 40bb deep any bet into a healthy field is like committing to the pot. How should I be adjusting my preflop ranges with the small stacks because youre not exactly getting any real implied odds because if other people are deep you're still short. And assuming this game has a lot of variance, how should the bankroll be adjusted? Is 20 buyins 20-$200 buyins totalling 4k enough, or should it be more because 20 buyins at 100bb would be 10k?
