Poker Lose Standings

Short stack Strategy is ideal for beginners, but some big players are using it too. Some of them make living from this basic, yet powerful strategy.
Rules for SSS:
1. Table need to have at least 7n active players
2. if there are less than 7 players at any time, leave this table and go to other.
3. don’t play at table if there are more than 2 short-stacker at table
4. every time you sit at table you will buy in for 20 BB (at 0.05/0.10 level you will buy in for 2$)
5. to move to bigger level you need to have 30 buy ins, so new level of 0.10/0.20 you need 150$ in your bank
6. you should always rebuy chips if you drop below 2/3 of your stack ( at 0.05/0,10 that’s 1.5$ because buy in was 2$)
7. leave table as soon as you make 5BB, that’s the only thing you need.
8. always wait for BB to come to you, don’t pay before you get BB.

SSS preflop play:
1. you never just call, you will fold or raise
2. you will play only strong hands

Hands chart and how to play them:
If no one has raised before you, you raise when …
You are in early position and have JJ – AA AK
You are in middle position and have 99 – AA AK, AQ
You are in late position/blinds and have 77 – AA AT, AJ, AQ, AK, KQ

If an opponent starts action, you go all-in …
When 1 raise was made before you and you have JJ – AA AK
When 2 or more raises were made before you and you have KK, AA
When a raise was made after you and you have TT – AA AK

Re-steals
Re-steal with 88 – AA AJ – AK
If an opponent re-steals, go all-in with 99 – AA AJ – AK

How much should you raise?
If no one has raised before you 4 Big Blinds + 1 Big Blind for every player who has already entered the hand
If someone raised before/after you Go all-In
When you or an opponent re-steals Go all-In

Positions: CO and Button are late positions, middle positions are CO+1, CO+2, CO+3, and early positions are first three positions from BB. BB and SB are worst positions and you will rarely play from SB and BB.

How to play after flop:
If you raised before the flop
You play:
-Middle pairs, top pairs, overpairs, OESDs, flush draws and every better hand
How to play your hand:
-If no one has bet or raised, you bet approx. 2/3 of the pot.
-If someone has bet or raised before you, you go all-in.
-If you bet, and someone raises after you, you go all-in.
-If a bet or raise would cost you more than half your stack, go directly all-in.
-If one or more opponents only call your bet or raise on the flop, go all-in on the turn.
What if you didn’t hit?
-If the pot is twice as large as your stack at the start of a betting round, go all-in.
-If you raised before the flop and are only facing one opponent, always bet approx. 2/3 of the pot on the flop. This is a bluff. You will have to give up this bluff if your opponent does not fold.

If you didn‘t raise before the flop
You play:
-Top pairs (with a jack or better kicker card), overpairs and every better hand.
How to play your hand:
-If no one has bet, you bet approx. 2/3 of the pot.
-If someone has bet, you go all-in.
-If you bet, and someone raises after you, you go all-in
-If a bet or raise would cost you more than half your stack, go all-in.
-If one or more opponents just call your bet, go directly all-in on the turn.
