Important preflop adjustments?
Nice foreshadowing with writing in all CAPS.
Talk about a level....

there is less room to splash around preflop when dealing with 20bb stacks (as opposed to 100bb etc). this doesn't mean you can't play loose preflop...one of the biggest winners ive seen that plays cap is approaching 30/25 territory. you just really need to have a really good idea of why you are making every open, every 3bet, why you size your bets the way you do and so on. so many people playing poker just don't even think about what they are trying to accomplish, they just copy what everyone else is doing because its 'standard'. the player who goes beyond standard and isn't doing what everyone else is is the one who takes the money.Quote:

if there is anything u ever do in this game, it should be figuring out why you're doing something whether its preflop or on the river.
nice post.... /thread imo
Interesting...
I assumed CAP would be just big cards hitting flop or not and PP shoving any single painted flop. Or any draw just shoving.... Basically a lot of shoving...
Greater then AK on a non A,K flop = nuts?
Never even thought about playing CAP before....
Correction: I did play it once, and I do remember a lot of people getting it in light.
ya i just summed it up therrr lolQuote:

How much is positional awareness affected by the smaller stack size? Is there as much of a gap between profitable hands from mp and the hj/btn in cap as there is 100bb deep? (idk if that makes any sense)
Is WTSD% inherently higher? Or is that a leak?
should be way higher yeah, like in 40's cuz ull be getting 3bet jammed on a decent amount.Quote:

let me get back to this im gonna go sleep and it requires me to thinkQuote:

Question: what's the best way for me to learn the things you are referring to where I've quoted you, with limited time. Particular books, articles, sites etc? Or particular concepts to study, narrower than "learn why you do anything".
coaching and a lot of deductive reasoningQuote:

Having never gotten actual formal coaching i have no idea.Quote:

Do you repeat this mantra everyday to yourself, or over time does it become internalized?
