Shortstack

A shortstack is a players' amount of chips that is considerably smaller than the stacks of other players on the table. There is usually increased pressure on players with shortstacks as they are at greater risk of losing all of their chips to blinds and antes.

e.g "I have a shortstack since only have enough chips for 8 Big Blinds."
