A shortstack strategy can definitely work but you need patience and a fairly loose table.

I think i might of left with that $22 and sat back at another table wit the same limits and bought back in for $5.

Yes p-fan I am with you there, that is exactly what I would have done.

Should I have left? Maybe. I'm more interested to see if I can run 5 into 100 at the same table.

lol well if that was ur goal then i guess u did the right thing, i was just giving u my opinion and what i prolly would have done, but i have stayed at tables before and built it up just to end up losing it all.

I just figure if my only risk is $5, I may as well try and run it up to $100.

But bankroll building and just trying to run up a buncha money is different .

You could of always left the 1st table then took the $5 back to another table and made a run for ur $100 then that way if u lose the $5 it was just sum of ur profit u would have lost anyway .
