Default Re: finding potentially good tables (lc)

I don't think I've ever met anyone who plays shortstacks good so can't really comment on that. But yeah you're probably right, any tips on how to spot good shortstacks before they win the pot(s)?

they check/raise all in with good hands to commit an LP bettor into calling with a worse hand. They force bad players to play worse hands with bad implied and immediate odds so that there is only a PSB on the flop left in his stack. In sum they take away implied odds and exploit many players' tendencies to play too loosely in hopes to "hit a monster." They allow their small stack to encourage people to bluff them when opponents' bets actually have less weight.
