Deep stacked shorthanded - differences from DS FR?

Postby snok » Wed Feb 07, 2007 8:48 am

Ho all!

My current DS FR play:
I now play only deep stack full ring (usually 5-6 stacks are 200+ BBs). I dare say I do it rather well - playing very positional and essentially trying to see cheap flops and win huge pots with little crap cards like 97s and worse. Calling small preflop raises (<5BB) in position and often making smallish preflop raises (3-4BB) from the CO and button if I can expect other deep stacks to stay in blinds or OOP. (this small pfr size of course also includes big hands like KK/AA)

But now I want to try my "luck" att short handed (5-max). The main reason being that I want to play more hands in position against deep fish.

What is a "good" VPI to aim for? In deep FR, I tend to play rather loose, though I dont cope well with the frequent shorts stacks - the pay off for playing my sneaky 75o etc is too low.

Any suggestions - perhaps adopting an ultra tight game UTG and in the blinds (say only PP/AK/Axs) and playing something like 50% of hands on the button - a little less in CO?

?

thanks for input!
