few questions for the people experimenting with shortstacking:
1) have you found people are more or less likely to semibluff draws against you
a)are your semibluffs less effective (assuming you make them)
2) are they more or less likely to fire second barrels (or are you AI on the flop with any hand you are continuing with)
3)have any of the more difficult regs adjusted properly to the influx of 1/2 stacks into the game
4) are you now dumping small pairs to a single raise pf with no cold callers
since you can no longer effectively float (or so i assume), and probably have no fold equity vs. mid pairs, you require a set to continue postflop, and although you will get paid when that happens, it is going to be much closer to neutral EV depending on the size of the initial raise, ie. i would imagine a 4-5x opener is going to be very thin profit wise long-term for a 1/2 stack set hunter.
5) do you ever slowplay, ever see a need to. if not, are you becoming extremely exploitable or does the stack size make up for the transparency of your hand
on a related note, what hands is a 1/2 stack typically calling with postflop that he is not raising. are there any that fit this category
thats all i can think of for now
