Today's video is about one of the most frustrating situations cash game players have to encounter - dealing with aggressive short stackers. 

When the effective stacks are shallow, in theory that means the strategy should be simple to overcome. However, in reality, a lot of players struggle to adjust to short stackers at the table. 

In this new video our coach gives you a solid gameplan for dealing with short stackers, including how to adjust your ranges, both when you are first to act and also when you are facing a reraise from them. 

He will also outline how to make exploitative adjustments against them, and much more. 

No longer do you have to get tilted against short stackers, watch this new video today.
