just look for some push/fold Charts, they are a good Approach for a short deck strategy.I was just wondering what some of the grinders on this site think of how to play short stack. Some people say loose-aggressive, but I think its actually tight- aggressive, sometimes even tight passive to try to realize your equity and also to maintain some equity in your stack.
Thoughts?
I think tight-aggressive is the right way to play when you're short on chips!
not sure if there is an official Definition for "short stack", but 20-30bb is definitly not a short stack in Tournament poker. for me less than 10bb is short.Everyone has a short stack are different, someone is 10áá, someone is 30áá, and who is even a little than 50bb. For me, a short stack is 20-30bb, but these stacks I will play in different ways, 20bb I will play only all-in, and 30bb can be played as standard raise or call 3bb, if for example I have a hand AA, KK, QQ, AK, and in the distribution will participate 3 players or more, then I will play definitely all-in.
I think with a short stack it's most important to take risks.With a short stack, the main task is to avoid unnecessary risks. I try to wait for a premium hand, do not call and do not check, in the distribution to enter only with a raise or all-in.
If you have 10bb and a couple of places till you hit the bubble fold everything except AA and KK. Otherwise. Play tight and try and get HU with players when you have ATWhen I'm on a short stack, I always play tight aggressive. I mean when I have 10BB or less I play all-in or fold. When I have more than 10BB, I still play tight but I also play after the flop.
