Re: Pooh-Bah - Crushing Short Stacks
I'm seeing more of a specific tactic from some SSers I hadn't really noticed before. It goes like this:
SSer limps in middle. CO or button does your standard raise if not much action in front. There's 0 or 1 other limper. The blinds may or not come in, but the SSer pushes all in. Most of the time the late raiser isn't gonna be in great shape for an all-in, right? And indeed they get a lot of folds and pick up a fair bit of dead money. When it's gone to the AI, the SSer usually has a middle pair or AQ/AJ, not cards a SSer should raise in middle except maybe AQ (IMO), but this tactic looks a good one for SSers in middle position with decent but not typically great SS hands. (I'm assuming we're talking about a generic GOOD SSer here, not the more common terrible one). Anyone else noticed this one? I'm certainly watching SSers who do this closely, to get a clear line on the ranges they pull this stuff on, so I can retake the initiative. |
