playing against ratholers

[Dan BRIGHT]

shorties pretty much make no money against me. I steal their blinds and i only play big (20bb) pots against them when i have a premium hand vs their range or am getting sufficient odds with big cards.

The key to beating them is realizing that becaues theyre short, you are also effectively ALSO short. So dont play like a 30/25 guy vs them... you are in essence playing like a 30/25 shortstack and we all know how aweful they are.

Most shorties dont have the attention or the savvy to adjust to you tighting up your calling range but loosening your opening range vs them. They dont play short b/c they are super good at evaluating and adjusting to ranges folks
