 Is it profitable to play these short stacked tables? Everything I can see points toward 100bb or more to max profit.
Are these tables prime for bumhunting? Even if they are, is it worth it?

At the lower stakes the rake really hits you pretty hard. But the tables are very soft, so pick your poison.

While it is certainly true that you greater potenial to win more money when you stack a deep opponent I have found that smaller stacks are as good or better than deep stacked opps.

a) short stacked opps - probably have bought less because they less confidence in their skills. Probably for good reason.

b) short stack opps are more likely to stack off since they have less to lose.


I would argue that the poker skill of my opp is more important than his stack size, except in the extreme.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.
