not really, when on the short stack (it matters how short the stack is) you will get called with an all in most of the time. my tip is just to go all in with a great hand and hope for the best. it is all you can do

The short stack is always at the mercy of the larger stacks at the table. The larger stacks will always be focused on knocking you out, so try to use that to your advantage (by doing things such as going all-in/betting a decent amount with a decent-good two pair for they will likely call with just a high pair)

well when youre on the shortstack you will get pushed around a lot, the chip leaders will almost call every time to knock you out. the thing is the chip leaders will bet most of the time to make ur stack even shorter, but they dont have much of a hand. so if youre short stack, call most of the time.

Calling is rarely, if EVER, correct when you are truly the "short stack."

If you guys are a bunch of calling stations, then I can see how you would suck dick with a short stack.

It's not like I'm THAT used to it, but I think I play a short stack pretty damn well.

well to prove my point. i was just shortstacked when we went down to the final nine out of 45. i used my short stack skills and just finished the tourney in 1st place. i am not saying youre styles are wrong. its just mine works bettter for me.

Translation: You should raise or fold more than call, ESPECIALLY when you are the short stack.
