Re: Short stack problems FTOPS $1K

1. usually fold, unless you think that the BB is not calling wide enough then shove but i still dont like it
shoving weak aces from early position is terrible imo, even with ur stack, you are so punished by peoples calling ranges, much rather shove Q 8 utg then A 4 in the 2 hole so hand 2 and 3 should be folds
the last one i think you have no choice but to gamble with K 10 cuz ur infiintely short and u have no fold equity anyways if you wait

Agree with all of this. Shoving hand 1 might be +cEV against nitty opponents in the bb but I think this is a fold vs. unknowns especially in a 1k. For a long time I would shove any 2 sb vs. bb with like less than 12 bb's as the bb would fold very frequently. Seems now people have adapted to this imo and are calling much lighter from the bb because they expect to see any 2 from the sb. Hand 2 and 3 are both tempting and might look like shoves to a card dead short stack but are both folds, and hand 4 is a sigh then call.
