This thread FAILS.

Why? Because lots of folks are obviously struggling with this, but none of the more successful posters are forcing the strugglers to THINK (though suggesting they put folks on a range/work with poker stove is a not-too-horrible idea).

DAMMIT if you've posted ITT about having ANY trouble with short stackers, THINK about these questions. And post your answers below. You've gotta learn to analyze these situations properly and adjust. Shorties require just about the simplest strategic adjustment possible. If you can't/don't/won't put the effort into problem-solving this for yourself, you won't improve as a player enough to beat this game. So get to work on these:

1. What strategic feature of playing short stacked makes it effective?

2. How can Hero counter that effectiveness and even exploit it as a weakness?

3. What method(s) of game play and table management will allow Hero to counter most often?

Let me know...
