Short Stack Strategy
First to the Pot Always Raise
Tells from Actors
If a player is acting
and trying to get you to
call, you should usually
fold. If they are trying to
get you to fold, you
should usually raise or
call. Figure out what
response they are trying
to elicit, and usually do
the opposite!
Selective Aggression
If
you
are
the
first
player
to
voluntarily
commit
chips
to
the
pot,
you
should
ALWAYS
RAISE
--
Never
limp!
If
you
have
less
than
10
big
blinds,
you
are
short-stacked.
Correct
short-stack
strategy
is
All
In
or
Fold
either
push
it
all
in
or
fold
your
hand.
There
really
isnt
any
other
choice.
Get
it
in
and
get
lucky!
