Huge pot and short-stacking

DGirl's post at PlusOne mentioned short-stacking at 5/10 NL and it's an approach I've had some success with as well.

Only played for about 30 minutes last night on a couple of tables and came up with this perfect example of how it can work in your favour.

It was 10-handed but I've tidied up the HH to include just me and the villain who was sitting with $1270. I had bought in for $300 and was at $293.75.

Dealt to MackemPlus1 [ Ah, Jh ]
SWED100 calls (10)
MackemPlus1 raises (50) to 50
SWED100 calls (40)

** Dealing Flop ** : [ 3c, 5d, As ]
SWED100 checks
MackemPlus1 bets (243.75)
MackemPlus1 is all-In.
SWED100 calls (243.75)
** Dealing Turn ** : [ 2s ]
** Dealing River ** : [ 5h ]

SWED100 balance $976.25, lost $293.75 [ 6c Ac ] [ two pairs, Aces and Fives -- Ac,As,6c,5d,5h ]
MackemPlus1 balance $599.50, bet $293.75, collected $599.50, net +$305.75 [ Ah Jh ] [ two pairs, Aces and Fives with Jack kicker -- Ah,As,Jh,5d,5h ]

This guy limps A6s, calls a raise OOP and instacalled a $243 bet on the flop. Nice.

I also won a huge pot at Omaha Hi with a bit of a drunken PF shove but I'm not sure I'll post that as it probably makes me look like a complete donkey!!!

If I can come up with some dodgy figures to back it up I will....
