Re: variance with GSIH short stack system
[ QUOTE ]
Apparantly no one here has much experience with a short-stack system.

No offence to Miller, but imo that's because the short stack system is silly. The promise of free money without thought, effort or risk has lured in suckers and sold books since the invention of the printing press, but they usually end up frustrated or broke.
If you follow this system you'll be grinding out peanuts, and that's only if the players don't counteract your system. I've stacked so many short stacks and their rebuys because they were following a blind system instead of reading my play.
If you haven't got much, use your short stack to buy in full at a lower level (tables go as low as .01/.02 online), and learn some poker. You'll lose a few buy ins but after a while your earn will be comparable to any short stack system at higher stakes. Learn some poker, earn your money, then move up. I can guarantee you the guys at mid-high didn't start off playing short stack strategy.
