This guy sells a package of training vids and a lot of charts on different senarios. The most most complete guide to shortstacking I"ve seen. It"s about $300, but you can get it for free if you know where to look  ;)

WYoung83:
So someone selling strategy advice for shortstacking? Shortstackers ruin cash games imo, all it takes is 2 of them at a 6 max table for me to leave. Glad stars have deep tables now. The only reason to watch these vids is to figure out how to combat them, but id rather try and play 100bbs + tables anyway.

I used these training vids to experiment with the 20bb cap games on stars. I am not recommending shortstacking, simply providing someone with some info they have asked for. Fwiw there is a lot more to being a successful shortstacker than you would think. I prefer playing at full stack tables, but shortstack strat is definately worth learning, especially for mtt"rs who frequently find themselves at 20bbs, where correct opening/reshoving ranges are crucial.

Just because you don"t like shortstack strategy, doesn"t mean it is a bad play. I know many people who play shortstack (20x and 30x) strategies at levels from 10NL to 100NL, and are profitable.  Like you, I prefer to play at least 100x, and do avoid tables that are full of shortstacks, however that doesn"t mean shortstackers are donks, or are ruining cash games - they are simply playing a different strategy to you.
