If that's correct you are playing way underrolled and will probably go busto. Just thought that needed to be pointed out, so maybe you can correct it.

Also as far as the table buyin this is the way I think about it. If you feel you are the best player at the table, then buyin for 100bb because you want to be able to cover the players that you are better than so you can extract more money off of them. If you feel you are not the best, then you have a mathematical advantage shortstacking. This isn't to say that all shortstackers play inferior poker to fullstackers, but if I have a chance to cover a big fish I would.
While true this only works if you know how to play a short stack correctly.
Isn't it easier to shortstack than it is to fullstack?
