Short stack strategy at the micros - thoughts?
tirceol, Apr 12 2012
So I read through the majority of Getting Started in Hold 'em (Ed Miller) as plugged by Jelle in this article... so how do you guys feel about the short stack strategy described?
1. Buy in with table minimum.
2. Play only premium hands (early high pairs and AK, mid another pair or two and AQs/AQ, late more pairs and AJ/AT)
3. Bet as much as you think you can while still drawing callers with (most likely) inferior hands.
4. Shove after the flop.
On a related note, I'm playing at Carbon right now (US player lolz) but their micro stakes $0.02/$0.04 tables' min buy in is $1.20 which is 30x BB... basically qualifies for medium stack per the book... do you think short stack strategy works when your minimum starting stack is 30x BB?
