Hey people,
im really new with SSS and i just dont understand the chart what tells what to do if someone raises after you in preflop. It says im suppose to play AA and AK in the same way. Sounds pretty stupid to me?! Why this starting hand chart has to be so simplified? Can someone explain me why, please?
Thank you..
Because it is +ev to go all the way preflop with AK while playing sss, a lot of time you will be facing QQ/KK/AQ/AK against which you got outs.
Hi 6604282,
that's all explained in the "What is the Short Stack Strategy?" article.
Even if our opponent has a more or less tight calling range we are still a slight favorite:
equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 41.945% 34.88% 07.12% 3304956 674539.50 { TT+, AJs+, KQs, AJo+, KQo }
Hand 1: 58.055% 51.01% 07.12% 4833599 674559.50 { AKs, AKo }And the praxis shows that people on low limits call even looser so our equity is way bigger.
Best regards,
