Very interesting post How to beat short stack players.
Advantages to Short stacking
Fold equity and Gap concept

High varianceFrom this I have derived three keys to victory against short stacks. They are:
1) Know your shorties. Not all short stacks play the same.
2) Effective stacks and pot odds. Know when you have to get it in with the worst of it.
3) Raise, raise, raise. To exploit shorties, the price of playing poker MUST go up.
