Introduction
In this article- The difference between short-handed and full-ring poker
- The Open Raising Chart (ORC) and other charts
A poker game is considered short-handed when 3-6 players are dealt cards. The strategy and general approach to playing in such games is quite different from that in a heads up or a full-ring game.
Short-handed games are much more aggressive than full-ring games. Swings tend to be larger, since you play more hands. On the other hand, your chances of winning increase as well, since a lot of poor players are attracted to the heavy action found in short-handed games.
This article will give you a detailed overview of how your strategy should change when you switch from full-ring to short-handed play. You will also get new charts to help you find the right course of action before the flop.
