Howdy Ya’ll,
I recently made a jump up in stakes, from $1/2 NL to $2/5 NL. However, my bankroll is less than ideal for $2/5. So I buy in short, typically $300 (60BB) , hoping to run it up. I think this allows me to minimize my risks against the monster stacks while still being able to stack off without damaging my bankroll too badly.
As for my research on Short Stack Strategy (SSS), thepokerbank.com has an article that divides how to play when 40BB or less, 30BB or less, 20BB.... However, this article only scratches the surface on SSS. It left me wanting to know more.

This article lacks:
- How should one play 60BB? 70BB? 80BB?
- What Hands can 3-Bet when short?
- Should Position affect what you open when short?
- When is it ok to limp?
- Can I still target Fishes/bad Players? Or should I stick to only playing premium hands?
Much appreciation to whoever can answer these questions, provide more content or information, or provide feedback based on experience.
