The last article concluded the discussion of preflop play with 20bb stacks. Of course, there will definitely be more discussion about short stack preflop play on this blog. But for now let’s start talking about postflop play, which is tougher and more abstract than the relatively mathematical preflop ideas presented here.
“Postflop play” with short stacks usually just means “flop and sometimes turn play”. If you raise 3bb and put in a decent bet on the flop, you’ll usually have just enough to fire the last of your chips for 2/3 pot or so on the turn. Now, this is obviously very different from deep stack no limit hold’em, and as any short stack hating no limit player will tell you, there is much less skill involved. In deep stack NL hold’em, at best only a small percentage of your profits come from the first betting round, and in fact, many of the top players actually will intentionally take a loss preflop by playing too many hands, just s
In part 5, Short Stack Strategy - Facing a Raise I discussed correct preflop move-in strategy against a single open raiser. But often there will be a raise and one or more other calls or raises preflop. Making the correct decision in these spots is one of the biggest keys to a successful short stack poker strategy. The same thought process explained in part 5 is used, but now there tends to be more of an incentive to move in due to the increased likelihood of being able to contest for “dead money” in the pot. Here I will go through a hand that illustrates how to decide when to commit your short stack in this sort of situation.
Hand 1: Tight-aggressive middle position raises 4x and average button calls. You are in the big blind.
A tight-aggressive middle position raiser is probably about top 10% here. The button’s range is a little looser than that, but more importantly, we can rule out the top hands from the button since most people will reraise with them. The button

In Part 4 - Short Stack Poker Strategy - Starting Hands I discussed what hands you should open raise with. This article covers what you should do against a raise, one of the keys to short stack no limit hold’em profits.
Oftentimes you will be facing a raise preflop. This is your chance to leverage the advantage that short stack poker provides. With 20bb, the correct strategy is to move in or fold preflop against a raise. You have enough chips that you could call with a hand like AK - but pushing is more profitable than calling with that hand for all the times you fold out a small pair or get called by AQ. And you don’t have the odds to play a pair for a set. So it is raise or fold vs 3, 4, or 5 big bets preflop.
The correct strategy to determine what to move in with involves putting your opponent on a range, then thinking about what hands will do well enough against that probable range to allow for a profitable push. Of course, this is the crux of all poker strategy in any

In Part 3 I described preflop raise sizing with a short stack. The general principle was that the larger the raise you put in preflop, the tighter you have to play.
In big stack no limit Hold’em, one can be successful with a large variety of preflop strategies. Many have beaten the games online playing very tight, perhaps 15% of their hands at a 10 handed table, while others play as many as double that. When playing a big stack, the actual hand you are holding is not as important as what hands you could be holding in the eyes of your opponents. The reason for this is simple - unless you are playing incredibly loose opponents, most hands do not go to a showdown. Such is the nature of no limit hold’em - you simply don’t make enough big hands to warrant calling big bets. The result is that in no limit, the players doing a lot of betting in the small pots, without losing too many of the big ones, tend to show the biggest profits over time. Hence the loose strategy can be

In Part 2 I discussed the some of the advantages of playing a short stack. Here we will talk about preflop raise sizing, a very important concept in short stack poker.
The most common situation preflop in texas hold’em is to have the action folded to you. And the most common action for you to take in this situation is to fold. Deciding which hands to play and how to play them in this situation is key to short stack no limit hold’em strategy, or for that matter, preflop strategy in any game.
The first thing that needs to be considered is how much to raise preflop. With full stacks it doesn’t matter that much. Any amount between two and a half to 5 times the big blind is reasonable. A smaller raise gives you more action, which you may or may not want, and lets you play more hands since you are risking less. A larger raise gets more money in the pot with good hands and increases your equity from blind steals, but means you have to play tighter to make up for the time
