I am still playing around with SS poker.

The orignal strategy was a tight, hyper agressive game with big pre-flop raises and flop all ins.


This strategy worked very well at first, and my big bets were getting calls by very week hands.

However, in the last 4 months or so I have noticed a change at my tables. Players are making very small raises preflop and on the flop, and didnt like calling large raises "light" Similar things have been happening in the MTTs i play also.

To combat these changes I have adppted a new strategy that is much looser and less agressive.

I build small pots early in the hand, and get all in much less frequently. Trap with more checks, and bluff the min raisers more when I think I have a good read on them (like they are trying for cheap flush or straight cards - or have a TPWK hand).

Since I only buy in for 24bbs, I still need to rebuy often and make sure I keep topped-off so I can limp and call small raises with the proper odds.

Playing short still is a great way to clear bonus, even the UB bonus seems to be clearing fairly well for once.

The biggest change I have made is limping with suited connectors and semi connectors like J9s, and QTs.

making value bets instead of big all-ins - trying to keep opponents in the pot for the right price.

so far for playing short stacked I have 10k hands logged between UB and PArty and am running at 4.4bb/100

for the last 2k hands since I have changed styles I am at 20bb/100 (unsustainable I know).

My VPIP increased from around 14% to 22%.
