How do you play short handed tourneys?

#1 15th December 2007, 9:46 AM

While I consider myself a talented 9 handed player, I always suck so bad when in a short-handed tourney!

I am pretty sure it has to do with how i adjust to the amount of hands in play...

I usually raise any ace, any pp, etc.

advice plzzzz

and yes, every level would be appreciated (even though I don't think i have ever gotten past the middle stages!)

actually I am pretty sure this had been a thread topic before, so any links to other helpful threads would be appreciated

you shouldnt play any ace shorthanded. You still have position short handed. A,6 utg is still junk. You need to be more agressive when it comes to stealing blinds

Thanks for the article.
Anyway position and the number of people make the difference to choose your hands.
