Hi. First post this forum, don't know what has and
has not been discussed.

Did look back 50-60 posts or so, not sure what to
search for.

Am a NL 'rookie', and thought I'd play around with
Miller's GSIH short stack system.

Seems to be lots of variance, I stated out super
hot, then recently all the 2-5 outers hit against
me. Hard to know how I'm 'supposed to be' running,
or if this swingy-ness is somewhat normal?

Anyhow, thoughts and comments appreciated. I am
up $$$, it just doesn't feel like it.... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Also, how many buy-ins (short) should I expect
to be a 'safe' bankroll?

Thanks [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I'd suggest playing some small buyin SNG's to get a feel for the game. Despite the fact it is tournament poker, you get to play many hands for a small amount of money while also getting experience in many different situations. I think it would be easier to learn the NL game playing some SNG's as opposed to a short stack strategy.
