Re: How to counterattack shortstacks
I don't know if that helps, but from my experience the shorties (which might be the ones who don't employ a fitting strategy, mind you) need much lower requirements to push their stacks (or whatever you want to call it) in the middle. So, there are a few things that are exploitable.
1. If they limp and you make a standard raise preflop, then they push, they very often have AceRag. I think it's usually a good call for you, if you have any pocket pair or at least AJ+.
2. If they see a flop and already have a good chunk of their stack in the middle, say about $0.4 of a $1 stack, it's often a good idea to check if they have position on you and you hit an ace-less (because the Ace is such a huge part of villain's range here) flop with anything. When you show weakness, you are very likely to induce a bluff and take their stack.
I know, it's not much, but maybe it helps against one or two of them.
