Re: FR Theory: Random thoughts on different stack sizes and playing them
nice post d.
Effective stacks. Effective stacks. Effective stacks.
You target one villain and the shortie in the blinds pops the pot. Villain one folds and you now have a COMPLETELY different set of hand dynamics.
Effective stacks. Effective stacks. Effective stacks.
Your playing a tad short and follow several limpers in with 33. You could raise, but you decide to limp. Someone behind raises. Normally you look to call for set value, but you forgot to push the Get Chips button. Three callers to you and you decide to call also. (Harrington moment here) Quick, what is the likely hand of the callers? small to medium pockets and SCs (Axs too sometimes).... but mainly small pockets. Alot of times from here out, when you get action on 953 flop, you are already toast.
Effective stacks. Effective stacks. Effective stacks.
I think that after position, effective stack management is the most needed online poker skill set I would like to master.
