short-stacked

Low on chips

Short-stacked describes having fewer chips than opponents or than the average stack in a poker game, creating pressure to play more aggressively or risk elimination: I was short-stacked and had to go all-in.

The term extends to any situation where someone has fewer resources than competitors.

Informally, short-stacked also describes a woman with small breasts.
