Preflop: All Stack Sizes Flashcards
As stacks get shallower, you should play_____ hands that require high implied odds.
Fewer
What types of hands go up in value as stack sizes get deeper?
Hands with high implied odds
In position with a 100bb stack facing a raise to 3bbs, if you want to 3-bet, you should 3-bet to:
9BBs
(When you are playing deep stacked in position, you should usually 3-bet 3x the size of the previous raise.)
Out of position with a 100bb stack facing a raise to 3bbs, if you want to 3-bet, you should 3-bet to:
12BBs
(When you are playing deep stacked out of position, you will typically 3-bet 4x the size of the previous raise.)
In position with a 60bb stack facing three limpers, if you want to raise, you should raise to around:
7BBs
(A pot sized raise would be 3x the last bet plus the remaining money in the pot.
3 x 1 + 1 + 1 + .5 + 1 = 6.5bbs with no ante and
approximately 7.5bbs with ante.)
In position with a 60bb stack facing a raise to 3bbs and a 3-bet to 10bbs, if you want to 4-bet, you should 4-bet to:
All in
(At this stack depth you want to 4-bet to around 2.75x, which would be 27.5bbs. Since 27.5bbs is more than 30% of your 60bb stack, you should go all-in instead.)
Out of position with a 20bb stack facing a raise to 3bbs, if you want to 3-bet, you should 3-bet to:
All-in
(When a 3-bet will put in more than 30% of your stack, you should often go all-in instead.)
If you are facing a limper who you expect to call any reasonable raise and then play
straightforwardly on the flop, instead of raising to your default size, you should raise to a:
Larger size
(Against limpers who play straightforwardly, you want to raise larger to isolate them. In addition, you will build a bigger pot which you will frequently win with a continuation bet on the
fop.)
