the serious beat is when the shortstacker who just doubled up leaves and another one sits at his seat T_T

vs tight shortstacker = give respect and let go KQo / AJo vs early position raise
- Min raise their big blind every time when folded to, to small blind.

Vs good shortstack = show them one crazy reraise with 27o / T3 then tighten up next 100.000 hands, then do same over again.

LOLOL 100 000 hands hahaha
degen gambling is how to defeat shortstacks. it must suck for them having to sit out while you are spewing chips with 27o just to follow their SUPER SYSTEM 3

one degen gambling shot for 50bb-s equals roughly 2 months time of playing your A+ game vs shortstackers
proceed at your own risk ! gl

Because they're bad at postflop play and they know you'll just give them a huge preflop edge by playing too loose against them.

Waht do you think ? Is it possible to shortstack 6max for good amount of bb/100 ?!

meh most shorties barely pull 1ptbb however, the real good ones 24 table or more, so they actually have pretty damn good hourly s all things considered

let me add on that, they usually play like 25/50 down to like 2/4 since it jsut doesn't run enough and once they double up they can't play the same table for another 30 mins atleast

Why is shortstacking better to clear bonuses?

I think because your bonus is based on the MGR of the table, you don't actually have to be involved in hands. So he can have like 24tables of MGR coming in and breaking even while shortstacking instead of having to play 4x as long 6tabling fullstack

can u remember the title of the thread?

Because they don't have enough money to play 10 tables 100bb ? (true story... :[)

Heres an excellent article on how to beat good shortstackers:

Gives a lot of insight if you have problems with these faggots.

Shortstacking is profitable for the same reason squeezing is profitable.

Because its easy and pretty low variance, you dont need hand reading or postflop skills, just basic preflop stuff.
Shorstackers dont give me as much trouble as before now, I toned down my calling range vs their shoves and started reshoving on them with a good frequency with Axs and stuff like that and they actually fold quite a bit.

Because they don't have the brains nor the balls to play fullstacked.

Does this include stuff like FPP?
So if I really wanted like supernova super fast on a smaller bankroll I could 24 table short stack NL100 and be one of those annoying guys too?
