Hey there,
The first tip to begin with is NEVER play a cash game short stacked. You always need to sit with a full buy-in and keep it that way throughout the game (Unless you're winning of course), otherwise, don't bother.
 
It’s really crippling yourself by playing cash game short stacked because you have less moves you can use other than jamming.
 
Play strong starting hands like pocket pairs, aces, kings, queens, jacks, AK, AQ. Short-stack bluffing can be risky but is sometimes necessary to protect your stack or identify an opponent's bluff
 
Are you playing live or online? If you play online, play deep stacked. If you play live, you can absolutely play short stacked. Everyone raises too big, so the most basic adjustment is to just play tighter. You can absolutely buy in short at a live cash game, wait until you have a good hand, and then put the money in. It's very boring, but it's profitable.
