in the long run, it is profitable to buy in short if you play it right. wait for premium hands, push all in pre flop and you will almost always get called by some rag hand from a large stack. as long as they keep calling with rags, i will keep buying in short.

Exactly. Happens all the time that way. They fail to adapt to a short stack's strategy, which is to play only premium hands. They can't use their deep stacks to bludgeon people out of the game. Different strategy. Just the way it goes.

You're assuming shortstackers know what they're doing which is an unwarranted assumption.

Don't mock the real players for calling with less than stellar hands until you mock the shortstackers for open pushing with A7o and pocket deuces.
