Re: PNL Study Group Day 2: Stack Sizes
The main B&M game I play in is $2/$2 with $100 max buyin so I'm dealing with 50BB and lower all of the time. I'm sure there are a lot of other games like this out there.
Short stack discussion is quite useful because of this. I definitely need to stop limping in EP with tiny pairs and SCs. Speculating with junk should only be on the button or maybe CO.
Plus the commitment discussion in the book will be quite helpful since you find yourself betting off your whole stack with TP quite a bit in a 50BB game. While I already knew about pot control, the big takeaway from PNL is to consider whether I want to do that against the particular opponent(s) I'm seeing the flop with.
