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...
