Re: Ed Miller\'s Short Stack NL Strategy

Thanks.
One other question. Does anyone else have trouble playing 88-JJ. Seems like I raise and get 1-2 callers, but the flop will come out with 1-2 overcards. At that time, should I abandoned ship and cut with my losses, or bet the rest of my stack beings I have invested quite a bit anyway and represent a bigger hand than I have? I appreciate any thoughts on that.

If it's checked to you or you're first to act, I'd just go all-in regardless of the flop. People call preflop raises with such poor hands that you're often still ahead even with overcards on the board, and even if you're behind, they don't know that ace didn't help you.
If someone puts in a substantial bet ahead of you, on the other hand, then you do want to take the board into account. Usually I'll fold to overcards in that situation.
