LOL, I think I am turning to evil side because 20BB tables looks better than 50BB.
Why because:

And fact is that there are only few shorties who are successful (1PT/BB+), other are break-even or losers. Also 20BB tables filling faster than 50BB and I think 20BB tables fish-regular ratio is better than 50BB tables.
Better share some good information how to beat shorties (I mean regular shortstackers).
Example: if you are going to steal the blinds and atleast one blind is shortie, then minraise instead of your normal open. Also if you are SB and BB is shortstack, then again almost always try to steal his blind with minraise.
Many times I have seen 2p2-ers who constantly keep opening 3 or even 4BB if one or both blinds are shorties.
Please don't do that because remember, 20BB is now effective stack and 2BB is giving little bit more than 1:20 implied to BB and 1:13 to SB. But if you steal with 60%+ range then your range is so wide and they still can't call profitable. So basically they shove with the same range, dosen't matter how much you raise.
I think making 50BB tables isn't solution, it's escaping but problem still exist. Shortstackers strategy is so easy, just analyze their game some time, use pokerstove, try to find ranges and now u can beat them. After that you love some shorties in your table because now you can play perfectly vs them and basically they are fishes who donate money to you.
