    Short stacking 5/10

    The 5/10 game at my casino is crazy. I want to get my feet wet with a few
    Short stack sessions. What is the best strat. Buy in is 500/2000. The PLO is even more insane. Should I try that?

    i can speak for PLO because ive tried it via cap games...

    variance is gonna be a fucking bitch...

    strategy is to iso with pairs since rundowns lose some of their steam being shortstacked...but if you have an "insane" game where multiple people will get it in with your shortstack preflop that's gonna be an issue...

    not saying its impossible, but itll be filled with puke inducing variance...

    like if you had decent double suited Ks in late position and there was a raise and a few callers and you decided to 3 bet pre and they all called and you flopped some rag flop with a backdoor flush draw you probably should get it in with the remainder of your stack, but if a few of those guys are sticky your KKxx hand is gonna be in trouble...

    There is nothing wrong with shortstacking this game. Just realize you will have no fold equity.

    Use stack to pot ratio as your guide- don't fold if you get 10% of your stack in, and realize you'll get stacked sometimes.

    I love to play this way,
