Default Re: Calling light vs short stacks

I guess it was stacking people off on their 77,66 & AK while doing this w/ TJs, Q8s, & 78o respectively. I'll try to get that out of my game, because I'm sure it was just getting really lucky. These short stacks have a plan of attack and I was trying to exploit it. They try:

1) to buy in for much less than the table avg
2) wait for a top 10-20% hand
3) try to double up w/ that hand

What I was trying to exploit is that they are often going in w/ a marginally good holding (ie 22-99, KQs, KJs) and are trying to see 5 cards w/ it w/out paying a whole buy in and try to play only PF and flop poker instead of deepstack cash game poker. I was trying to throw a wrench in this and mix it up, maybe it has purposes, probably not, but just wanted to bring it up and maybe discuss it.
