THIS
No disrespect "BogDan Stark" but what you said is just no right, of course there's a couple things that I agree, there's some things that I disagree but someone could make a different point than me, but some of the thinks is just not correct, like 72o > AKs , or don't play against the chip leader, doesn't make any sense, just because sometimes we get unlock doesn't mean it's the wrong play ..
THIS, that's the basic strategy for a short stack to be profitable.suricato35 said:I don't really agree on what u're saying.
Basically u're saying that ppl need to be a complete nit.
I'll point out 2 reasons why u shouldn't play like that:
1. Its very easy to counterplay it. I'll fold every single hand i'm holding unless I have AQs+, QQ+ when u make a raise. But, i'll raise u every single time I have the oportunity to steal the pot from u, since u said that u'd "Fold even AK".
2. If u're short stacked, u simply DO NOT HAVE TIME, to wait for a premium hand. The blinds will eat u up in 5-15 minutes, u have to make a move, fast.
When u're short stacked, u're looking for a blind steal or a coin flip, if possible, slightly favorable to u.
So, if u're sitting at CO-BTN-SB position and no one raised already, make your move, if u have at least a hand with some value if someone calls u. Something like J8+, Q6+, K5+, Ax. Most times u'll get the blinds, and a little air. And, if u're called, it will probably be a coin flip.
I agree with u on the point that its easier to make a raise urself than calling a raise. But, u have to be careful on who is leading the raise, since it can be a high stack just bullying the table, making his raise not so dangerous as a raise from a tight player. If such thing happens and I'm holding a good hand (like A10o+, QJ+) I'll easily re-raise him.
U said that u have to avoid the chip leader... Why? Honestly, if u're a small stack, probably everyone else on the table have u covered. It simply doesn't make any difference if u're facing the leaderchip or anyone else. I'd say I sometimes prefer facing the chip leader cause I know his raising and calling ranges are wider than a guy that could be really hurt by entering a coin flip against me.
So basically, if u're short stacked, u have to play more aggro than ever, and widen up ur range, not shortening it.
That, ofc, is my opinion
