4bet bluffing with a shorty all in lol.

what"s with the short stacking though - part of a strategy?


Yeh. . . sorta works, playin short you get called with garbage more often. .  .. especially if there has been a raiser. . they rarely pass

Exact opposite imo.

see your point...but at the mo it"s working 4 me. . . .  if it ain"t broke...why try to fix it??

Not saying you should, can be quite profitable short stacking when done properly. I take it you were leaving after this hand. 25bb`s isnt an optimal SS strat.

Too much for shorting, should really buy-in for the min $40. If you get that up to 80-100 leave or top up to full if you think its a really good table.
Playing 10-20 bigs keeps the drawing hands out of our way. Where as if we move in to 30-40 bb region we will attract them although we havnt got a stack to play them ourselves.

Min buy in is $80. . . .  on all tables on stars. . . .  i usually buy in for $100, used to do $80, but found that little bit extra profitable. . .  what sites let you buy in for 10 BB pls advise. .  .

Never realised they upped the min tbh, my bad. But now they have i think buying in for less than the max would be a mistake unless your taking 1 off shots of course.
