You should be aware of some things at your table
1. Number of people playing (min 8)
2. Average pot size and players in per flop and;
3. Number of shortstacks as these are the people to be aware of
I read all articles and I recognized their big values.
Now, against a table full of guys playing SSS, you cant play SSS unless your goal is to accumulate points and play the longest you can.
I do play SSS, but when after 40-60 hands, I realized, thanks to my tracker, that I have a tight nest on my table, I turn into a calling station and I take advantage of their mathematical risk aversion.
How loose must be the tables for the SSS to be profitable (if you only follow the basic rules, without stealing)? I'm interested in the flop seen percentage. I am putting this question because I tried to play SSS on Ipoker and the flop seen percentanges are very low compared to those from Ongame.
Is the basic strategy profitable at tables who have flop seen percentages between 20% and 25%?
eh... the higher the better
lol@omnikell
it's not worth your time to play on a table full of shortstacks.

nope!
On Ipoker at NL10 the majority of tables have flop seen percentages between 20% and 25%.(some of them have even smaller than 20%). I don't understand why they are so tight at NL10.
I retract what I said. On Ipoker the majority of tables have flop seen percentages <20%, not between 20% and 25%.
Hi I'm currently playing at NL50, was up at 555$, then went down to 380 some ugly bad beats, now I'm back at 570$. I was just wondering how do you guys improve your game? Beside posting and evaluating hands and coachin, plus xylere writtes a lot of great articles. But you can find some much information on BSS and so little on SSS if you know what i mean?
Hi Killerius,
I would say evaluating and posting hands are right up there with coaching as the most important self improvement methods. Of course new articles are also good, but through analysis of hands and using equilator etc. to analyse situations you are forcing yourself to actually think deeply about the matter yourself.
For self-improvement I also of course recommend taking advantage of xylere's offer this week: http://www.pokerstrategy.com/news/pokerstrategy/Short-Stack-Strategy-Session-Review-and-New-Gold-Article_04389
