playing with a half stack can definitely be profitable.
you need to be playing a lot more 99-JJ hands strongly and be willing to go AI with TPGK type or even 2nd pair hands. You play less implied odds hands like low PPs and SCs and generally you're less aggressive. Position is less important so you more loosely from EP and tighter in LP.
I don't actually play with a half stack and this is from my correspondence with those who do.
But if I played the way I played with a half stack i would be breakeven at best. It's a lot easier to learn how to play profitably with a full stack. Most of the advice you get comes from players with a full stack. What you don't want to be doing is to "test" your (full stack) strategy by playing with a half stack.
