Ultimate Bet now has No Max tables where there is no max buyin. Today I sat down with $100 on a penny table, it was great. But could these table somehow make the game more profitable? I see 2 strategies that could be used but I dont know if either will work.
Strategy #1 Steamrolling
Pretty simple, Start with 5 times as much or more than any other player on the table. Start putting them all-in with hands like A-J, or anything that you think you have a coinflip or better on. Also, it should be easier to get people to think youre just throwin your stack around when really you have rockets, so you could get people making looser calls on you.
Strategy #2 Take steamrollers money
This is obviously the exact opposite, you wait until you have a better hand than the steamroller, then make him put you all-in, and double up. Since most of the people who buy in for 200x BB and stuff will probably play looser, this would seem profitable, just sit and wait for some monsters.

Strategy 2 looks pretty sound to me, but Strategy 1 seems like any half decent player would just adopt Strategy 2 and own you  .

From what i've read (although this is higher stakes where people will sit at tables with 2-3k, it is the short stacks and the big stacks the do well. The midsized stacks are the ones that suffere because they are still plagued by the short stacked peoples willingness to go allin, but they also have to deal with big stacks who can take your stack at any moment.

just cause you have a large stack doesnt mean you have to make stupid ridiculous decisions like push with AJ preflop. theres a game at a casino where its 300min buy in with 10/20 blinds. people sit down with 1k minimum while some sit for 4-5k. a big stack allows you to make moves but doesnt pot commit you. doesnt mean you have to play LAgg.

True, you cant make money by pushing with hands that are often dominated, but you can make money by pushing with coinflips often, which will get you a lot of callers when you have a premium hand. Then again I have never tested this so I dont really know that much about it.
