Some of the studying I have been doing has pointed out a flaw in the push/fold strategy when short stacked. What I have learned is that as you get deeper in the field and ICM becomes a bigger consideration you should use your standard open more when short stacked between 10 to 15 BB. This is because each chip is more valuable. The less chips you have say in the final two or three tables of players, the more valuable each chip is. Those who have bigger stacks, their chips are less valuable in relation to the value of a short stacks chips. The more you can ladder up the more money you make. So it is my understanding that early to mid tourney the standard short stack strategy is sound but as you get later the hands you should be willing to shove with should become stronger and using a standard open should become a consideration. What are you thoughts on this? I'm learning more all the time and one of the best ways I have found to do that is to talk things through with other people.
