I know why shortstacking PLO is probably better than NLHE right now, but that is most definitely not the reason why. If anything, that would be a detrimental effect of shortstacking PLO since your preflop edge isn't as great as in NLHE.
The main reason why shortstacking is effective, at least in the way I see it, is that it takes advantages of people playing too loosely against someone with 20bbs behind them. Basically, people just play as if everyone had 100BBs+, wherein this lies the profit for the 20bb stack. |

I have to go back and re-check the articles (i think it was a series of three of them), but i believe that was part of what he was talking about. With your short stack (i.e. 20bb) you are basically forcing the others to play with that stack against you. But they do not adjust/think like that.
I think there was also some stuff in there about how you can control the math/pot odds to give you an edge with your short stack. But I think that dealt more with a looser game (more loose money in the pot). It was interesting reading if anyone gets a chance. Not sure if its in the online version |
