Shorthanded

by Dominik Kofert

General Advisement


Shorthanded is not different in principle from full ring games. You handle a shorthanded game like a full game where the first few players folded.
==> Therefore, there is no reason to play particularly loose-aggressive in SH games.
Play just as you would normally, tight, aggressive and solid.

Pre-Flop


Correct preflop play can be found in the advanced pre-flop article. At SH pay attention to the following principles.

· 1st-In Pre-Flop Raise or Fold
· 2nd-In Pre-Flop Raise or Fold
· 3rd-In Pre-Flop mostly Raise or Fold

These are only good for your first action pre-flop.
