Shortstacking rulz... I've made thousands shortstacking 6 max 1-2 / 2-4 tables. Find a very aggressive table, high avg pot with most action, double up and move on. (I stick around if the game is really juicy). But I use this percepted idea that, "a short stack HAS to play tight" against the big stacks that try to bully... You'll find me making big all-in resteals pretty often, and pushing on flush draws against a tight opp... I don't play very tight, but I still find that short stacking is a great money making strategy for me. It also give you a little protection from suckouts and big bluffs. I may not be a great deep NL player, but I can short stack my ass off...
