Thinking about Mr. Malmuth's "Magic Number"

[Q8offsuit]

Did I ever say I was actually going to do this? Have I posted numerous reports gloating about my win rates playing "magic number" stud, multi-tabling with $0.10 buy-ins? No. I have enough intelligence to realize there are better ways to spend my poker time.

I read the essay and thought it raised some good points. I was wondering whether these points were applicable to Hold 'em, and then I was merely confirming that in a certain situation in stud, a certain buy-in would TECHNICALLY be +EV.

Wouldn't one would have more success buying in short stacked at an NL table and choosing which hands to go all in with?
