Online Poker for All

www.betfairpoker.co.uk - We have all been there before, dejected after taking a huge hit to our chipstack, we sadly count whats left, and shove it in the next time we see an Ace in our hole cards. But however bad you might feel after you lose a big pot, if you have enough chips to cover the big blind at least, then there is still a chance, however small. Ideally, you want to have enough chips left to hurt a few stacks at the table, at least this way you might be against one or two players when you push in, rather than five.

Despite that, this demonstrates my point about there being a small chance, no matter how small your stack is. If you have a small stack and get your all in called by five players, you only have to win, to pick up a reasonable pot. This brings my next point, being that when you are short stacked, in my opinion, the worst thing you can do is push all in with a small Ace. The amount of times I do that, and get called by a bigger ace, it simply isn’t worth looking at anything lower than (A,7) in my opinion.

Strange as it sounds, I would much rather have middle to low suited connectors. In the case of you being very short and called by 5 players, you do not want to turn over (A,5) only to find one opponent has a pair of sevens and another has (A,10) or something similar. With suited connectors, you have a good chance of two live cards, with straight and flush draw possibilities as could as you can hope for.
