Re: Am I just living a sheltered online poker life?

Okay, thanks...
Should I alter my preflop raise when I first sit down since I am short stacked? Instead of the standard 3-5xBB should I keep it down towards 3x? Or should I just play normal and keep reloading when I fall too far below $200?

Do not lower your preflop raise size. The fish at Trump will call large preflop raises with horrible hands. Just make sure you have a premium hand when you do raise with a short stack because you will likely go all-in. Raising small is asking to be cracked. I only do it to change my play up a bit and with Ace-suited or something like that in late position when there are lots of people in. Most of the fish don't realize that I'm just sweetening the pot in case I hit a nice draw. Good players will notice and re-raise you, but it's not too much of a worry.
