Hi guys im playing 100NL rush poker and there is this regular short stacker that plays 19/15 with a 2% 3Bet.
On the other hand i have another short stack regular that plays 24/20 with a 18% 3Bet.

Short stackers are usually a pain in the ass for me.

Play marginal hands, flop good, and knock them off or don't flop good, fold and go to the other table as this is zoom, if you win you win, if you lose it's not that big of a deal since it's shortstack.

The guy with a 18% 3bet, if he is 3 betting you that much you should never be folding. The 2% 3better you should basically always be folding. Both players could be winning players and both could be losing, I am sure your sample size is way to small to dictate one way or another. I know you people don't have it, but there was a very good video on short stackers from drag the bar, from qtip, if you do I highly recommend watching it.

Short stackers are only a problem for me if the are super aggressive on their second action. It usually consist of a shove which is normally pot odds to call and it really sucks. So then they double up and usually play the ( im still aggressive ) and you end up getting locked in a handthat gets trumped. = (
