This thread seems misguided. He makes some good points and then fails to draw them to their conclusion.

. The worst thing you can do to a short stacker is raise his limps, raise his blinds and 3bet his raises.
Does he mean the BEST thing you can do for a shortstacker is to raise his limps, blinds, and 3bet him light?

Shorties limp for very specific reasons, and it ain't set camping. I've limp-shoved considerably more times than i've limped to see a flop.

Raising from the button against my blinds will get a lot of folds, but it'll get a lot of shoves too.

And 3betting a shorties raises light is absolutely silly. We WANT you to 3bet us light. That would be AWESOME. This guy seems to think we're raising preflop with junk. That couldn't be further from the truth. When a shorty raises pre, you should be seeing warning bells because the fundamental truth of shortstacks is that their small stack belies just how tight they really are.
