Trying out the cap games at full tilt, I know there must be some good short stack strat here on the forums somewhere but I'm having a hard time digging up what I'm looking for. Is there any good info on playing when everyone's stack is small in relation to the blinds?

Go to search.

Select relevant forums.

Type in +short +stack +strategy as search terms.

Set time to go back 200 weeks. Hit go.

I think fimbulwinter made a very good post and starting hand chart to 50BB tables when party poker(?) had caps too. This was in SSNL and I think you'll find it in the SSNL main sticky , probably in some digest.

Edit. I'll add that in shortstack tables the playing is very much emphasised on preflop and flop play, and you should act accordingly. Drawing hands like suited connectors and small pocket pairs that you'd normally play for flopping a flush/straight/set go down in value and the monster hands go up in value, even more with small stacks as opponents are more eager in calling all-ins.
