Hit And Run

davidgti

ok playing poker a few years now and one thing im starting to notice ALOT is... hit and runs at the moment over the last week i have marked some players and been watching them do this.i dont have the time to keep watching them but what what i can see they seem to be doing well.there this one guy he opens 4 tables 1/2 2/4 etc with min buyin and the only thing he is doing is allin or foldanyway are these guys making or losing

shortstacking can be a winning strategy when used effectively. most good players buy in for 100BB because all the bad players do as well.

Most shortstackers are poor players

Mr.Plough

they are poor if they arnt able to play the flop turn or river at all.


nothing worse than someone playing a 1/2 he cash game as if its the final table of the world series.

the good ss at high stakes seem to have a better wr than the regs. but ss at the lower levels suck and just donate.

this happened to me at IO 2/5 nlh

foreign geezer a kraut i think buys in for min 100.

hangs around for a while , gets his double up eventually to 150 odd, raises my bb to 35 folded all round . Next circuit raises my bb to 75! wtf i wake up with 1010 i glare over at herr shortstack and say "are you that stuck for a fiver?"

Total blank i decide in the true spirit of the game as mr lacey always quotes to put a man to a decision for all his chips rise him aww eeen. I put him on mid pair big slick/ chick

sure nuff hits his a and k , doesnt even stack the chips but grabs and dashes immediately, completely lost my rag and sent him scurrying with a few choice expletives

only the second time i have come accross this other time was in cork by a complete friutcake :eek:

That is because they have no ideas of correct pushing ranges and will call off up to half their stack pre - flop or on the flop only to fold. Playing a SS well is a pretty difficult thing to mitigate against. A good SS should dilute the benefits of position and significantly reduce the edge of a good full stacked TAG or LAG.

yeah, they haven;t a clue how to do it.

The big game PokerStars SSers also benefit from the fact that the regulars in that game seem to make little, if any, effort to adjust to them and like to call their pushes with pretty much ATC out of spite. .

plus it helps all the regs are like 27/22 or whatever

ss can be really profitible if they know their theory and whatever,
