Default Re: M2TR shortstacker illuminati thread

Here are some of the high points that I've learned in my brief experience and through reading some threads.

1. Use smaller raises when there are good SSer's yet to act behind you or one has limped in ahead of you.
2. Shove over LP SSer opens. Skier talked about this in his thread here.
3. Most importantly (this is my own opinion,) don't be afraid to flip for 20BBs. In the absence of risk to other full stacks, I put SSer's AI w/ +MPPs and AJ+ or worse.
4. Steal or manipulate the initiative. Be the aggressor, put them to the question. Their stacks are small and it is easy to estimate their actions. Their moves are predictable, therefore, don't bet in spots where you will get raised AI and you don't want to call. Overbet in spots that will leave you hanging in the wind to a raise.

Use FE as your own weapon and disarm the SS's of their primary tool.
