Thanks man, glad my comments helped.

If you're really short and under-rolled, probably playing the short tables is a good idea until you can reload, but it will require a different game. I'm not a shortstacker, so I can't really help that much, but I know you'll want to:

1. Move in more preflop with hands that have good equity against a calling range. (Given the fold equity, I suspect moving in preflop with like JJ+ and AQ+ will be good, but again, I am not a shortstacker so I'm kind of guessing)

2. Be willing to get it in on the flop with good, one-pair type hands since the SPR will be low enough to make this generally good.

Generally, I wouldn't advise playing a short stack in terms of your long term development, since it won't really help your post-flop play very much, but if it's all you're rolled for right now, I guess it's better than not playing at all.

Are there any freeroll tourneys you could play on Lock? Again, not normally something I'd advise, but if there are you'd get some free hands in and hopefully make a little bit of roll from them.

Lastly, don't let it grind you down if you go broke. With the kind of super short roll you describe right now, you're pretty likely to bust out, so if you do don't start thinking it has anything to do with your game - it might do, but the best player in the world couldn't escape the high probability of going broke with such a short roll, so if you bust out just reload when possible and keep on grinding.
