I wouldn't recommend it below 2/4. The majority of your winrate is gonna come from winning big pots against loose, weaker players and if you shortstack small stakes games you're really limiting those opportunities. And you're paying huge rake.

Pretty cool move at 31:30! What stakes could be the threshold for starting to play shallow in your opinion?

Thanks for the feedback lazygrinder. I agree that playing with 100bb stacks in the videos is the best way for others to learn, and at lower stakes where rake has a much bigger impact on winrates, I definitely recommend playing full stacked. Sollepolle - the advantage of playing short is getting to play against players who might not know how to adjust to a shortstack in the game and mess up their ranges (mostly PF). That and in some hands you get to trap dead money in multiway pots (full stack player stuck in the middle has to fold more often to your shove because of the other full stack behind him). But again, at lower stakes these advantages usually won't make up for the overall higher bb/100 that the rake takes.

lazygrinder if the shortstacking is the best strategy why are you whining. I seriously want to know exactly when i should short stack and when not. It is plain stupid not to use all the weapons in your arsenal.

Sollepolle, yea it can be a very profitable play to fold out chops especially when you can credibly rep the river bringing a flush or boat. Be careful though and make sure you analyze their range so you don't shove into a flush or boat yourself.
