Can you give me a guide which card's is to play in which position with a 50BB-Stack?

sure but it's so controversial. everyone has a different game or different ideas about their game.

here's the executive summary: if you won't be stealing say 20%+ of the time (that's aballpark), you should only play the first-tier commitment hands: pairs, AK, AQ and the margin hands AJ/KQ. once you have late position and stealing the blinds comes more into play (as well as c-betting your first-in raises), you now have "steal equity" and so can expand the range.

if you can take down the pot a lot stealing with c-bets, you can expand your positional range to include all sorts of hands. however, do NOT overdo it against thinking opponents. all they have to do is reraise you or checkraise bluff the flop and your "steal equity" goes down the tubes. so you should still play tight in late position, but you can add in suited connectors, suited one-gappers, connectors, a few extra big-card hands.

Thank's for the tips.
It's look like the starting hand's from Miller's book about shortstacking-play, added the small/middle-PP and SC in late Position, and play in EP and MP only AA-JJ, AK, AQ. I think this is a good plan for playing with a middle-Stack.
