i don't understand this newfound struggle with shortstackers. They are so easy to beat. The reason they continue to make money is cause people hate laying down AJs or TT to 20 blinds. The 600nl shortstackers always either fold or shove, so implied odds are completely out of the equation. So playing against these guys is just regular math. If you see a guy who's 7/7/inf, all you have to do is call with like top 3.5% hands like AA-JJ AKs and AK. Stay ahead of range and profit.

Edit: Adjust range if you were original raiser. If you open for 3.5xbb and he shoves for 20 big blinds, you're getting 1.4:1 (58/42) on your money so you call with 58% of his range (7.2vpip x 0.58) = call with top 4%. Also account for dead money: Blinds, calls behind original raise, etc have a larger affect here because pots are so small. (Above formula with blinds + one folded raise included = 1.7:1 on money = 64/36 = 7.2 * 0.64 = 4.6%)

assume you are LP, openraise and a shortstacker shoves, laying down TT/AJs is a HUGE mistake and they are effectively making money of YOU.
