If you are going to defend with relatively few hands, then you should try to steal a lot of hands. If you are going to defend with a lot of hands, then you should try to steal a few hands, but to increases in value with many. It's all about the range of hands. But what has this to do with changing your standards if you are long or short board? Although theoretically there is no reason to adjust your ranges, in practice, your opponents will be adjusted. Now you'll see why. In a table of 10, you can virtually ignore the whole issue of stealing and blind defense and still win money. If someone tries to rob you, just give it (without a good hand).
And never try to steal the blinds from anyone else. Far from being the best way to play, but in a table of 10, you can still do so. Relatively few hands end in the situation of blind stealing, because the people most of the time play from early position and from the middle positions. A lot of people who likes to play short table like this feature of this mode of play. They like the fact never have to deal with theft and blind defense.
They do not feel comfortable playing hands marginal that sometimes you get trapped in such situations. So do not play. When everyone makes them fold up the button, do not steal. And when the button opens the pot, do not try to defend their blinds. Moreover, when a player makes a raid long table in a board game short, many of them come with the vague notion that they have to defend more. Typically, the method works well, the blinds reach me more often, so all cost a lot more hands. If I keep playing tight, I lie down by the blinds, so I have to start playing many more hands to compensate for this logic is faulty. As demonstrated earlier, if everyone withdrew to the player's button up, no matter if the game started at a table long or short. The hands that you play depends only on the range of your opponents, not how fast you get the blinds. The flaw in this logic is to think of the blinds as the price you pay. You do not pay the blinds are dead money. Bets are already made. And these bets already made are worth relatively much more against a few players against a table full of players. So do many more blinds in a board game short, but these bets have a value much higher in a board game short, so the total price will be maintained. So even though theoretically not have to make any adjustments between games of 10 or 6, in practice you will notice that your opponents play more aggressively in the short tables. You do not have to adjust to the different number of opponents, you have to adjust to the different ranges they play. Source:. Reilly holds a BA in Philosophy.
