I play small stakes and just prefer to shove or fold early
I play small stakes and just prefer to shove or fold early. What are hands I can shove early in the game and be EV+?
AA, KK, QQ, JJ? I fold AK early [img]/images/graemlins/ooo.gif[/img] In small stakes, if you even make a normal raise, everyone gets all excited, like piranhas, and they panic and start shoving. |

I keep getting errors with those links in the preflop section.

Re: I play small stakes and just prefer to shove or fold early
You shouldn't be doing that. It's dumb, and you won't be able to use that strategy anywhere but the lowest lowest stakes and win. If you have any ambition of becoming a better player, making money, or moving up in stakes, stop being dumb. If you don't care about making money and want to play small stakes, you'll have more fun playing a lot of hands than push botting. so either way, dumb strategy.

Yeah your gonna have to learn how to play post flop.
Im assuming your the guy who first hand picks up AA shoves UTG and than shows. Gotta get value out of your big hands and that's not the way. |

"What are hands I can shove early in the game and be EV+?"
This depends exactly on the calling ranges of your opponents which is something we can't answer for you. You can learn ICM (in the FAQ) and figure this out for yourself. Typically, all of the hands you listed will probably be +EV to shove in a $3.40 or something. Ideally, you should learn how to play postflop a bit. This will benefit you in both the short and long run. Shoving these hands is probably +EV, but being able to play them (and other hands) well postflop is likely much more +EV. |

Ok. Thanks for the answers. I'm rethinking my strategy now.

You are throwing away a tonne of value but shoving big hands. People with call your preflop raises with a much wider range than they'll call a shove with. Then, they'll stack off light.
