This is more of a general question...
Ok I play every so often in Atlantic City. I usually buy in for around 50 BB's because that's basically what I can afford to do. I consider it short stack, but wanted some advice.
You are sitting in the small blind or big blind and pick up a hand such as AK, AQ and there are 5-6 limpers, what amount are you raising and what's your play post flop if you get quite a few limpers.
At a lot of these tables I may raise to 15-20 and get at least two callers. I feel this puts me in terrible shape for a c-bet (this entire play ends up costing half of my stack...wrong way to look at it?) if my A or K doesn't hit, because I am down quite a few at these loose aggressive tables and if I hit my A or K I might not get any action anyways.
Anyone have any insight into this situation or have any advice/articles/books on short stack cash game?
Should I maybe buy in for even less (30 BB's...the min allowed) and just be pushing in these situations?
