Alright, on a serious note...

I have a real problem with people posting [censored] in this thread like "OK i think IMSAKIDD shoves this range against a button open"...etc.

I think talking about general shortstack strategy is fine. Picking apart a specific short stack's game is very unethical IMO. I recall last year a few posts in HSNL where people started talking strategy against specific players and it caused an uproar.

THe purpose of this forum is to talk general strategy and not create blueprints for picking apart a specific player's game. I know the line is kind of blurry here but please keep that in mind.

No.

Shortstackers are filthy parasites, there is no reason to show them the same respect you would to real people.

catcher does seem like he has all his bases covered and really thinks through alot of difficult situations in an impressively analytical manner, was admiring this the other day.

Steal their blinds unmercifully, the <3xbb raise is key, as is restealing versus their LP opens. Most still have a >25% opening range from LP. Run a pokerstove on that, and you'll realize how much trash their opening from LP, and how you can profitably resteal.

Determine their default shoving ranges from different positions, and run Pokerstove sims to determine calling range.

Also a couple open push marginal hands that don't want action rather than open from SB, so this will also affect the pokerstove range.

Spite calling is the absolute worst thing you can do versus them.

el oh el. Good shortstackers are good poker players. You make an adjustment and they will make a counter-adjustment.

Shortstacking is itself unethical, so I don't see a problem.
