Rampaging...

I read an article at the start of the year about Rampaging Short Stack Cash Strategy, the basic idea is that even with a small bankroll of say $100 you could play in games which would be more suited to bigger bankrolls and move up limits. I thought this seemed a good idea so this is what i'm doing.

I first buy-in to a 2c/4c game with $2, the maximum buy-in is $4 so im basically half stacked, i play TAG, I basically want to get to $5 and then leave the table as $5 is half stacked for the next level at 5c/10c. I then buy-in to the next level and I want to get upto $10 before I leave to move to the next level at 10c/20c, so far ive only actually risk $2 to get upto that level and it only equates to about 2% of my bankroll so its within good bankroll management, my goal is to get to the 25c/50c level where I think is possibly to play a good game and make a few $'s.

We dont have to leave any level as soon as we hit our target if we think the game is still profitable i.e. don't leave 5c/10c once you have $10 if you are playing well and cards are being good to you, after all the ultimate goal is to make money no matter what level, we are just trying to limit the amount that could be lost.

So far its going well, not always straight forward but am in profit and have rakeback aswell so that adds to the profit, i'm gonna stick with this approach for a couple of months and hopefully build a decent bankroll.

OK something I should say is that I know short stackers are basically dispised/hated but im not buying in for the minimum, im buying in half stacked so its slightly different and im comfortable with it.
