I was just reading some of your hand histories...how come they all seem to be extreme cases, like you go all-in with only $5? That seems to be pretty low even at $25 tables.

Depends which tables I was at, but if I was playing at UltimateBet, $.10-.25 blinds, I probably only sat down w/ $10.
At the .25-.50 blnds, I usually sit down with $15. Sometimes $20.
So depending at what point that hand was played, I could have been short stacked.
What do you mean by extreme cases?

Why go into a game with less than the maximum allowed?
If you've got an overlay in the game then you'll win less

Umm... I think when I first started, I was extra tight and conservative. I would not sit down with the maximum amount because I felt I was risking too much. There were two issues that got me to that point:
At any particular time, I may have to put all my chips into the pot, and if I had less chips with me, I felt more comfortable making certain calls. If I thought I had the best hand, yet someone bet $50 into me, I would not be willing to find out for that price. However, if my bankroll only allows me to call $15 and I felt my hand justified those dollars, I would make the call. So, really, I play better.
The other issue was that a bad beat would erase my entire bankroll. So, I minimize my risk against those bad beats. What I tend to do is sit down w/ less than the max, I play until I double or triple up, and then I leave the table and sit down elsewhere with my normal starting amount.
Managing my money in that way has been working pretty well for me so far.

I have applied similar strategy...I will typically sit in a $25 table with $15 and it has helped teach me to play tight/selective aggressive....true I have been caught short stacked a couple times when allowed myself to get trapped...but overall it has helped me to play with more focus and when I have that hand with the right implied odds I am not timid to bet it hard...I know this goes against some of what I have read from the experts BUT most of the material I have read is geard toward limit games? Example: I caught myself on a couple hands where I considered calling the pre-flop open...but I decided to let the hand go and wait for better openers...

Yeah, you have to be able to play at stakes where you are most comfortable, so you can play your best game. That's exactly how I started out.
I think I've become more confident, I usually sit down with $20-25 now.
You'll eventually get there too, but just play at the level that is warm and cozy, you're game is best at that level.
