Default Re: move in crib sheet

The thing is that it is so dependent upon stack sizes. I'm less likely to move in if the BB is so low that he is more likely to want to gamble and if he losing the hand will cripple me. Otherwise, with ~ even stacks, I will move in with any 2 from the SB on the bubble. My bubble play has gotten a lot better since I started doing this exercise while at work (I have an easy job!). I deal out 4 hands face down, look at the first hand and ask myself, "would I move in if the remaining 3 stacks were similar in size to mine?" If so, I move on to the remaining hands to see if I'd call. If not, I move on to the next hand to see if I'd move in, etc. It's amazing when you deal out thousands of hands how low your standards to move in should be if you have rational opponents. For me, as first to act on the bubble (assuming a blind worth winning), if we all have healthy stacks, I'll often move in with any two broadways, any pair, any suited connector. I'm more likely to move in from the UTG with a suited connector than with a k9 or a2 because of the risk of domination. So much of it is read and stack size dependent though that I think it would be hard to make a chart.
