IMO, an easy way to manipulate SPR with your good hands is to open with a wider range. For instance, let's say you wanted to get 10% of your stack in preflop(100bb stacks) with AA. A 10bb raise might not get called too often. So you decide to raise with suited connectors from 98-54(20 hands). With these hands, you'd prefer a smaller pot, so making the minimum raise preflop would be optimal(if you had to raise). Also, you don't plan on going broke on the flop with one pair too often with these drawing hands. So you can adjust your raise size accordingly. [(20*2bb) + (6*10bb)] / 26 = 3.85bb Now a 4xbb raise prices out your opponents who are hoping to catch a lucky flop. While a speculative hand may have good implied odds against AA alone, it is lacking the proper odds against your overall range. I could be way off here, but seems to work for me. I don't mind getting it in postflop with AA, even with an SPR of say 11.5, because I know I've priced my opponents out preflop with my raising range. EDIT: Of course, there are more factors to consider than I'd care to list. For instance, your opponents could possibly profit by 'floating' preflop, with the combined chances of stacking you with a good flop and stealing with a bad flop making their call +EV. [/ QUOTE ] even if your opponents were incorrect to call preflop, that doesn't make calling an all-in bet for 96BB on the flop with an overpair an easy decision. and in many cases it may very well be a mistake, even considering your preflop strategy. |

Re: Professional No-Limit Holdem SSNL Discussion
I'm not saying it wouldn't be a mistake. After all, if your opponent only shoved with a hand that beat AA and folded otherwise, you would help him cut his losses by calling his all-in bet, reducing your overall EV. However, if you are unsure of your opponents hand, calling that bet can't be -EV for you in the long run because you've priced your opponent out of the perfect flop(not to mention that you can still suck out by the river).
In short, if you price them out preflop, they can't achieve +EV in the hand by outflopping you. |

[/ QUOTE ] i don't necessarily agree with your assumptions about the potential of shortstacking. but here's one reason to consider it: easy decisions. if you're struggling in your current game, and finding that tough, aggressive, & tricky opponents are putting you to many difficult decisions, playing shortstacked would be one way to consistently create situations where your decisions are much easier to make. |
