Having the short stack at the table is the most unsettling position to be in during a tournament. No matter what sequences led to your current status, you must get some chips quickly or you’ll find yourself eliminated from the tournament.
Your best move is to wait for some premium cards and go all in. At this point in the game, you have to be mentally prepared to either go all-in or fold. If you can see a flop for a bargain price, go ahead, but only if your cards are strong enough to call a raise. The rest of the table will try to take advantage of your short stack and play aggressively to bully you out of the hand.
Take advantage of players that you know to be tight when you’re the small stack. Even when playing against really tight opponents, betting everything may cause them to fold. As the short stack player on the table no pot is too small.
