| playing short handed. Ok so I understand why everyone says this is dumb and should be not do, i understand. Now, what if the lowest limit is too high for your bankroll and you can not go down any further. some sites only offer limits that are so low, 4NL 10NL. And this is hard for the micro stakes player to play with a full BI since it is way over BRM. ( talking about a 20-60$ BR) So with this in mind, would it be bad to buy in less, or the minimum? Only because you would be in your BR. |

| I think your title should have been "Playing short stacked" I would say it depends on how you play. Many good players completely ignore BRM. BUT you have to be good enough. Some people say as a novice player it is fine to buy in for less. I would do whatever you feel comfortable with doing. Sometimes that is the best anyway. If you buy in full and feel nervous, it wont be of any benefit. |

| Thats how i define a bankroll. For me a $10K rolls is not replaceable whereas a $60 one is. If it is not easily replacable then you have to apply correct BRM. Play full ring until you have enough, or micro sit and go's. If you cannot replace it then dont take shots |

| You can attempt to shortstack at a given stake, however know that by doing this variance is going to be in much greater effect on you as you'll end up in a lot of iffy/flippy spots. Most of the "professional" shortstackers I've seen usually end up doing it on a 70-80 min BI bankroll as the swings can be brutal and last for a bit. |

| re: playing short handed. poker .00 deposit.JPG (http://www.cardschat.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42156&d=1329508424) Look not a brag but this is what i deposited and it's now over $1,800.00 . I started at .02-.04 FR NL only always played 100% buyin with auto top on . No prob slow and steady and you can do it.
