That's nuts.

define short stacking... 10 or 20bbs?

Started at 10, but 20 is better. I'll still do 10 at a higher limit if the table is so juicy that I don't care about my stack and just want the bonus points.
I'm currently playing at Tower, where I only had 30 days to cash out the bonus (all or nothing) and I was just way behind playing .15/.3 and .25/.5 Limit. I started short stacking iNL25 ntending to basically buy points with my blinds (playing very tight and trying to double through with big pairs) - but I actually found that the poker was profitable too.

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.

At Tower, I just wouldn't have been able to cash the bonus at the lower levels - which would have been a whole lot of wasted effort. The bonus started to clear very quickly when I started playing tight on maniac tables, and I was still consistently paid off when I hit decent hands.

just play poker properly.

Once this bonus is cleared, I probably will. I'll find a 60 day or 90 day bonus where there is less pressure.
