Re: finding potentially good tables (lc)
[ QUOTE ]
I don't think I've ever met anyone who plays shortstacks good so can't really comment on that. But yeah you're probably right, any tips on how to spot good shortstacks before they win the pot(s)? [/ QUOTE ] they check/raise all in with good hands to commit an LP bettor into calling with a worse hand. They force bad players to play worse hands with bad implied and immediate odds so that there is only a PSB on the flop left in his stack. In sum they take away implied odds and exploit many players' tendencies to play too loosely in hopes to "hit a monster." They allow their small stack to encourage people to bluff them when opponents' bets actually have less weight. |

[/ QUOTE ] If he is playing very tight preflop then he is probably playing at least decent as a shortstack. Also good shortstack players are not limping into the pot, except maybe on the button. They mostly raise or fold. This in itself however is not indicative of good shortstack play. But if he is playing tight and raising or folding, then he is probably the real deal. |

Re: finding potentially good tables (lc)
I think that Pokertracker with the PA HUD is the gold standard around here. Though Pokertracker with Game Time+ is also 'acceptable'

I play 6-max, so as long as I am not immediately left of the big stack, I don't worry too much about table position. [/ QUOTE ] This is a mistake right? Don't you want the big stack to act before you? |

Maybe I thought he was playing in the Southern hemisphere, where, of course, the table action would be counterclockwise. |

[/ QUOTE ] To determine left from right, I hold my two hands in front of me and make L shapes (thumb and index finger). Only with my left hand can I read the "L". The right hand shows a backwards "L". Note: this rule won't work if your'e dyslexic. |
