In Rolf Slotboom's PLO book, he talks about shortstacking. The key point he made is being sure to sit with a known LAG on your right.

I believe it's the opposite... a known LAG to your LEFT... because (i havent read the book but im familiar with the PLO short stacking concept so Im assuming this is it) the point is to limp have a LAG raise, squeeze in a few calls and then pot reraise to the point where you're all in on the flop when you bet.... thus you're always getting +EV on your hand and can never be outplayed/pushed off a pot

about the players in the first post, they may be veiwing the situation as " i have this much at risk, so should he" or thinking that the guy is going to hit and run...

as far as live play, i always buy in 2x min, unless i am just trying to kill time, then ill buy $50 into a 5-10 limit game. the place i play uses a single $5 blind, so you can be dealt 100 hands at a full table before you bust
