Why do short stacks push and then rebuy.

Given the logic involved in this style of play there are three definite possible explanations:

1) Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Chances are high that their mother drank heavily during pregnancy, as much as a quart of bourbon daily, without missing a day. In grade school the syndrome would have manifested itself in aberrant behavior, such as painting a valentine card using his own blood or crapping himself without knowing it.

2) An epidemiologically-linked case of chemical poisoning. This could be easily verified by tracing the person's childhood geography. If he was front-and-center at Love Canal, chances are he thinks it's good poker to push that teensie pile into the middle when he finaly gets aces(without reloading first), but will flat call TPTK to the river to see your set and spill off 90% of a buy-in.

3) Then there is seizure aggravation in idiopathic generalized epilepsies, a condition brought on by prolonged sniffing of volatiles like gasoline or glue. If you see the habitual short stacker dashing off to the can every 20 minutes and returning with glazed eyes and giving off the scent of a powerful adhesive, ths could explain the strategy. He may also have a visible brain tumor, sometimes massive, that people could mistake for a cat napping on his head.

Any of these should help explain it.
