If you can't get away from the short stack is there a way to play them optimally. Is it a matter of sitting away from them. I'm sure there is a way to effectively play against a short stack since I've heard of all the disadvantages. What is the best strategy for playing multiple short stacks at a table, every table. Is it a matter of putting there stack on the line consistantly (LAGG) even if you lose once in a while @ showdown. Can I just keep reloading and pounding so they know that if they enter the pot it'll be for stacks. Or do you buy in short as well and take em on with then a larger blind structure at 50BB of your stack and play TAGG. Right now I just play full stack TAGG and keep putting their stack on the line when I hit, no 3x-5x raises, just stacks. Variance is high but I'm not losing overall. (ie; 1 table down a buyin, 2 tables up 2 or 3 buyins)
Even though this may come back to bite me in the ass since I often play as short stack these days, check these two out for some tips on playing against short stacks (btw, i wouldn't suggest pounding them with money, cos that's what I want as a short stack; to play for stacks repeatedly until im up 5x my buy in, and i wouldn't suggest buying in short if you're not adept at playing short);
