M2TR shortstacker illuminati thread

[phydaux]

I'm still playing uNL, 25NL at the moment. 25NL on Stars is littered with short stackers. Bad ones. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

The only short stacker I fear is one that I have seen shove on the flop. Fortunately, these seem to be few and far between. So many times I see shorties limp-call a PFR, then check-fold to a c-bet. Playing "hit-to-win" is not the way to make money as a shortie. In fact, it's exactly how most bad shorties go broke.

If I were to give advice to short stackers, and that's something I've been known to do over on the Beginner's forum, I would say the best thing they could do is to shove on the flop more regularly, even if all they have is two unimproved overcards.
