i wonder if we agree...philosophically on how a short stack should be played, or i am way off, as usual.

not yet...in my games. i am playing a bit lower than you at the moment. 10, and 25. some would say to never buy in short at 10 (hell, i am one of them), but its not a bad "testing" ground for BI sizes and bet sizing.

and, how can the implieds not be there if the early raiser bumps is to $4 and i have $60? i hit my set, i practically stack off everytime with a flop bet, or check/bomb to a cbettor and a turn push.

i can see that, and just top up if you get challenged, but...

at my level, we get called too much to do a lot of cbetting with a short stack, imo.

this just seems a bit backwards to what i've read so far, and the way i think about shorting. i dont dispute your results, i just wonder about stealing with a short stack?

to me, from what i read, its "wait for a flop, and stick it in" with a bit of balancing on bigger draws and a little cbetting to keep others guessing a bit.

you are making it sound like "raise and bet like a monkey, its only 50 bb's."

i would love to discuss this further, as i go along. you have done this longer, and have adjusted along the way. i would also like to see if Fnord jumps back in a bit, too.
