bankroll requirements for short stack theory

What happens when sites won't let you buy-in for the 25BB for a short stack strategy and the minimum buy-in is a medium stack of 50BB?

The bankroll would need to be adjusted upwards yet again, I think.

Actually, in that case you can't properly do the short stack system, which is predicated on the strategy of getting all your chips in and decisions made before the turn. 50bb won't let you do that, unless you raise so much preflop that you drive everyone away.

So when I was playing the short stack system, I avoided those sites that wouldn't let me buy-in short. I also avoided the sites which had a large minimum add-on requirement (for those times when my stack dwindled down below 15bbs due to the blinds).
