Playing against a short stack in cash poker can be dangerous because they are likely to be a loose canon. In tournament play short stacks represent another sort of opponent, but again one that can be dangerous.
A player enters a cash game with a very small stack, let’s say 25BB. This disrupts the rhythm of the game because the short stack makes frequent all-ins. The best way to deal with the short stack is to match his aggression. Play the same way he is playing and bully him so he cannot simply shove his chips in whenever he wants.
When a short stack calls your bet on the flop, it is very likely that he is pot-committing himself to the rest of the hand. Therefore you must be confident that you are strong enough to win the pot if a short stack is pot-committing most of his chips.
Of course you will get short stacks chasing draws from time to time, but for the most part, players on the short stack will desperately try to get their money in when they are strong.
If you get a read on your opponent of a busted draw, it is likely that they will try to push you off the pot by going all-in on the river, especially if you have acted first and checked. By luring the opponent into the all-in on the river, you can take all their chips and look smooth doing it!
