Default $5/10 NL on Full Tilt

Just came back to this game after taking a few months off from O8. I'm sure many of the regulars of the game post here, and while I'm equally sure that nobody is going to give away their strategy completely, I thought that perhaps we could have some conversation at least about it.

In short, it plays unlike any other game I've ever played(although I've only played about 5 sessions). A few times I've sat down, bought in for $1000 max, and been the biggest stack at the table. What exactly are all of these short stackers doing? I mean, as I've always understood it(and I could be wrong) the point of shortstacking is to take advantage of deep stacked opponents playing LAG poker. They care much more about each other and they'll play a -EV style of poker against you because its +EV for them overall. So you just sit back and get it all in preflop with premium hands against them. But in a table of shortstacks, what exactly is the strategy?


The second noticeable change from "normal" games I've noticed is that people are way more willing to get it all in preflop. Countless times I saw two or even three way all ins with people holding very average hands like A27T single suited or something similar.



Clearly I'll continue to monitor the game and then adjust, but I just found the style of this game really shocking to me initially. Any thoughts on it?
