Lately I've had several people ask me for pointers and tips on short stacking for beginners; so I will take the luxury of killing multiple birds with one virtual blog post stone:
- Fragile egos need not apply - You will get made fun of in the chat and by many of your online poker peers. No one loves a short stacker. I would recommend turning off the chat unless you can stomach a seemingly endless onslaught of "your mother" jokes.
- It's a roller coaster - The variance is like no other game. Nearly all the profits come from all in pots, so if your hands don't hold you better ready yourself for free fall.
- Love to be hated - When you were a young child at play time did you grab for the He-Man or the Skeletor? If you answered Skeletor short stacking might be for you; prepare to play the villain.
- More equals better - Short stacking is a thoughtless form of poker. If you can handle playing 79 tables at once - do it.
- Give up quickly - As Coach McGuirk once said, "Anything too hard in life is not worth doing. Remember that. Like snowboarding, or martial arts. Pottery, or math. The point is, if you're not immediately good at something, why do it?"

to add to that, most shortstackers simply aren't very good at it, and people at MSNL have mostly adjusted their games to shortstackers. more unconventional forms of shortstackers are coming - but unless you do a ton of math, i don't think 20 BB shortstacking is that profitable anymore.
