EDIT: also, how do things change once a short stack doubles up to a 1/2 stack or so? is the strategy then "leave the table"?
Very good points. My humble input, plz rip it apart:

I once saw aces buy in for $1200 at the $5000 so 24BB should be good. Seriously though, shortstacking is best done for 20-25BB imo. AA-TT and AK, AQ push over raises.. increase range if people tend to fold.

A question, short-stacking passive games where everyone is like PFR 1%, then you just standard raise these hands 4BB (+1 per limper) instead of shoving allin right?
