Shaun's beginners guide to 180s

[mshafer000]

def. good basic strategy for the 180s. You don't touch much on taking advantage of position blind stealing especially during middle and late stages of tourney.

Great post Shaun.

Also do you see any significant difference between the skill level of the 4/180s and the 10/180s. If you are a winner in the 4s (say ROI>50%) should bankroll be the only consideration as to whether to move up?

Well not just BR I'm sure you'll be a winner at the level but if the difference of buyin gets to you, you won't play optimally i.e. you made be hurting your ROI by as much as 20-30% becuase with the larger payday at the end.

I don't think pos matters that much with PAHUD you should be motr paying attention to your stats you should be opening more when you are say MP2 and the guys left to act all have stats under 15/5 and the BB is say 12/2. Than you should be opening OTB and the SB is 40/12 and the BB is 25/15. Basically use all the info you have as well as consider stack implications if you are committed to any shove from people your range should be a smaller because image matters and if you can get away with stealing and people never seen your hand it takes them longer to notice how lite you are opening. By than you have a solid stack and can really push peopla round.

mmm....it looks like Im going to be the first one to throw some critics.
I think the guide is nicely written and its worth reading, but there is one part of youre guide Im not a fan at all which is the part where you put a stack goal for the end of each level, what is up with that?
