Short Stack Specialist?

MP33

I,ve heard this phrase mentioned a few times in last cpl of weeks, but still not sure what it is

I,m guessing its someone who joins a game with a short-stack with maybe just a view to doubling up by playing premium hands only  hoping ppl will play wider as they are not as afraid going all in as someone with a full-stack

Would this be correct or is there more to it?

DOHHHHHHH

SPECIAL! is the word.

There are no short stack specialists on sky below 50nl - Just a load of plonkers who think they can do it.

There was a guy at 30nl, called JADEN (i think, it began with J anyway) - I'd have had him in my top 10 players at that level, yet he refused to buy in for more than a 5r.

MP you have summed it up,these guys play with a shortstack and try to double up.I dont know so much about playing premium hands only as what i have found is that they have a very wide range.

My view is that if people want to play this way then fair enough it is their money and they can do what they like with it.However you will find that a lot of players detest this way of playing and give them some verbals in the chat box.


The way i look at it if you have a winning hand you want to get paid as much as possible on it and you certainly cant do that playing short,however each to their own.

i used to do it when i first went to cash from MTT's. This allowed me to play solely pre and flop. Only when Dohhhhh said i was scrum (remove r lol )  for shorting NL4 did i change

Actualy statements stated here may not be true, however i know the opinion would be there lol.

In honesty I did it for that reason, However i got no value, what i done was doubled ran sat down doubled ran. Obviously there was days i was on heaters and eventually id go through all the tables in a half hour period and have a total profit of £8, Thats when i realised i needed max value.
