it's not a bad strategy it's just most people do it wrong. i've got a short stacker at nl25 at redkings down $50 which is just ridiculous. he has no idea what he's doing and from what i gather he's got a hand chart and is just open pushing/calling with top 20% of hands.

define short stacking... 10 or 20bbs?

also you're going to have a hard time clearing bonus when your max pot is giong to be 40bbs etc. you'll have to megatable + rathole and most low traffic sites wont make this possible.

just play poker properly.
