Re: Shorthanded Play (2-4NL and higher)
[ QUOTE ]
Thanks for the posts. So to recap:
-Pick looser tables.
-Value bet smaller so as not to get trapped (I'm assuming).
-Play tighter.
-Be ready to bluff.
How about slow-playing decent hands, like big PP before the flop? Or sets on the flop, with draws on the board? Recommendations... or is this completely opponent dependent?
Also, given three or four players, how likely is a pair going to win at showdown? Top-pair? Two-pair?

Not value bet smaller, make thinner value bets. Meaning hands you would check when last to act on river like one pair with good kicker, you need to value bet.
As far as how often top pair is good and two pair ect. Short handed the value of your hand goes up, not every made draw is out there like it normally is in full ring, you can play hands slower if you choose, but if you are playing your bluffs fast it will be easy to tell soon, what you are doing and you will get no action on good hands. Also your bluffs will start to get called. So basically I would play every hand you play fast, bet nothing , bet the nuts, noone will be able to get a read on you.
