Do an EV calc to figure out the breakeven point for calling a shove from a 20bb stack. Do this for when you open in the CO/BTN and they shove from the blinds or if they just open shove and its on you, or if they shove and you're last to act in the bb. Go into pokerstove and learn what you can call profitably given the breakeven point(s) you found vs their shoving range. This will help you MASSIVELY vs. 20bb sized stacks. You're effectively turning their game around on them. Ugh, there was something else I meant to tell you, but I it's slipped my mind lol. I'll post later if I remember.
We still gotta do that sweat, I'll hit you up sometime this week. PM me your Skype name.
Edit: Remembered as soon as I clicked send lol. When you're OTB or in the CO and the BTN is nitty and there's a semi-decent 20bb stack or one that just seems to shove vs any open in the blinds, minraise or 2.5x as a steal. You will lose a LOT less. That .5-1bb per steal might not seem like much, but every time they jam on you and you fold, you saved that much as opposed to you opening to 3-3.5bb. It also makes it less profitable for them to shove, but they typically won't adjust their 3bet jamming ranges. Hamstringing 20bb nits ftw!
Another thing to keep in mind, if you find a halfways decent 20bb mass tabling reg, note if he 3bet jams a wider range from the blinds vs a steal. There are some (even at 10nl) that will 3bet shove Axs, Kxs, SCs, etc vs a BTN/CO/HJ raise. If you notice them doing these kind of things, you can widen your calling range vs their shoves as its going to be considerably more profitable. All the while you're cutting even DEEPER into them bitches' pockets.
