In the 5/6 short games I have been playing I have not been bullied because I do not bother playing hands that are not good. I do not defend my blind with K high. I just play really good hands with potential. I keep getting paid off. Then when I get more money and some respect I start bullying the table myself. You get into alot of trouble playing "Who has the biggest balls" in 5/10 short I think.

The only reason I chose 100 is because it is enough to bet out your hands sufficiently, although if you get some bad suckouts your going to be hurting. It is also all I am willing to lose in a day until I get my bankroll back to 3K. It is currently at 2K after destroying it at 5/10. Discipline is soooo important!

I don't like sitting with only $100.... one suckout later and the next thing you know, you don't have enough to get fully paid when you hit a monster and it's being capped the whole way.

I would suggest you sit with the $250, and then quit when you drop to $150, if that's your game plan.

i agree with TP here. it doesnt really make sense to sit down at the table shortstacked to begin with, so just set a loss limit, but sit down at the table with more.

i wish that i had the roll to play on the bad beat tables right now. the stories here and other places make it seem like an endless stream of fish willing to chase the jackpot on every possible hand. who cares about the jackpot, just play for all the suckers.
