Introduction

In this Article

How to play Shorthanded
3-bets thin Isolation
How to maintain and overtake the initiative
Some tips for pros

General

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.
