With small pocket pairs, just shove If you have a low pocket pair between 22 and 77 and you are in late position, then you most likely have the best hand. However, you probably won't want to play it postflop, since there is a very high probability that at least one overcard will come out. Small pocket pairs on the postflop lose their value very much, because if you are ahead, then you are unlikely to collect at least some value from your hands worse (if you do not have a set, of course), if you are behind, then a pocket pair is bad a bluff candidate since you only have 2 outs if you call.Consider a limp strategy Surely one of the first rules that we hacked into our nose when we first started playing poker is that limping is bad. While this is true, it makes sense in short stacks.Of course, limping shouldn't be done against all types of players at all, because you are depriving yourself of fold equity, but in the right situations against overly aggressive opponents, this can be a very effective deterrent.Hi !
What are some easy tips to take into consideration when you're running out of chips during a tournament ? Like what hands to play ? How to play them ?
I believe the definition of a short-stack is one that is under 20 BB's, live, and under 12 online. Looking for a double-up is the main goal, here. Snagging some blinds and antes will be a bonus, imo. Getting it in w/the best hands is kind of obvious but there are some not-so-appealing hands that can be played on the button or in the blinds like 98 or J9 or even 65, suited for best results. Racing w/these hands will, usually, put you in a flip situation. Best of luck.Hi !
