Re: What is the defense against the short stack startegy?
If they're all playing it, steal their blinds mercilessly and stay out of any pots they enter unless your hand compares favorably (say, JJ, AK, or better against a first raiser). Also bet the flop in first position, and call with any pair if you think the flop missed them but they're pushing anyway per Ed's advice.
Rarely will you find a small-stakes game that tight, though. In my experience I'm the only one at the table coming remotely close to playing this tight.
