[Closed] vs 50BB Stacks at NL5

Just be awear that both them and you will get commited to hands alot quicker as they only have a half stack. Most the time when you get to the turn versus them is ther has been beting pre flop and on the flop. Rearley can you get away from a hand due to there stack size. Avoid calling many of there bets imo. Also be awear that in 3 bet pots they'll nearly always have odds to draw to flushes etc. If someone wishes to add anything or correct anything i may have wrongly suggested fell free

Right, so less implied odds, have to play solid hands against them, and no pussy-footing around. Did I get that correct?

Well yeah and no. Just post flop you'll be playing pot odds more than implied odds.
I'd wait for a second imput from someone else though if anyone else decides to show up.

ive been playing on a smaller and fishier site not found here on PS and majority of my profits actually come from these guys.

i play SH and i try to look for tables where there are 3-4 midstacks. they stack off with TPWK or chase any kind of draws. especially if they have a VPIP$ of 30++ and no PFR.

yum ♠_biggrin:

be prepared for suckouts though, because it will happen

strategy.. just play solid preflop hands and in position and punish them post flop

I was playing 50bb alot and even now sometimes. i can tell that biggest winnings are from overpairs (QQ+) when opponent keeps calling.. and its very profitable if you know how to play with 50bb!

What do you guys think about CBetting these cats though?

I usually feel I have more fold-equity against shorter stacks. When that proves to not be the case then I make a note of it. My assumption is that they are risk-averse so they don't want to dump a lot of money into the pot with nothing. The gambler types are usually easy to pick out before you ever get in a pot with them.

Thanks for all your feedback guys, really helpful stuff. I think these suggestions will incorporate into my style of play smoothly.

On a different note, is there anybody out there up for a good sweat session, either as an observant or the player, or both?

If you are in Asia Pacific I'd be up for it. It sounds like we're at a similar level right now.

Edit:

Oh, duh, you live like an hour train ride from me at worst. We can sort out the rest over PMs.
