Basic Short Stacking Strategy Guide- Last updated 1/25/17 Welcome and thanks for trying Automatic Poker! This guide will walk you through the basic strategy step-by-step. My goal for beginner system was to design the simplest route to improvement for those new to short stacking. The charts below will act as your "cheat sheet" to that system. They will show you exactly what to do in nearly every situation you might encounter, save for a few gray areas that I will cover in this guide. I have included an image file of this chart. I suggest integrating it into your desktop for easy reference while you play. It will make your life a lot easier. Here is an example screenshot of my desktop. Feel free to copy my design, which I have found to be very efficient, or come up with your own custom setup. Here are a few things that I want you to keep in mind. 1. Everything the chart tells you to do will be +EV nearly every time. It will immediately strip all of the -EV crap out of anyone's game. 2. Therefore, do not vary from the charts unless I tell you to. They are mathematically sound and proven to be profitable at micro stakes. (And are likely profitable higher.) 3. If you are unsure in any situation, take a note and feel free to ask me via email at automaticpoker@gmail.com. 4. Your goal should be to memorize the chart. As you play, try to think of the correct play, and then glance at the chart to see if you got it right. Do this on every hand and you will learn it in no time. 5. The chart will be your fall back strategy going forward. The logic behind it guides me through "tough" spots, even today. 6. The chart is effective for any stack between 20 and 50 big blinds. Buy in for whatever your site allows you to, whether it is 20, 30, or 40 big blinds. Leave a table once your stack exceeds 50 big blinds. 7. The chart is not designed to be used long term, in fact, you should be striving to memorize it, play a few thousand hands, then move on to the read-based Intermediate strategy as soon as possible. So please, don't complain to me that you aren't winning big with the basic strategy. That is not what it's designed for, it's only supposed to be a introduction to the Automatic Poker strategy, and is only a starting point. Being a big winner at poker takes patience and time. And, while my strategy will be one of the simplest and fastest routes to profit, you still have to put in the work. To recap. At first, do not get creative. Follow the chart exactly. Just do it. Do not question it. Memorize it ASAP. If unsure, make your best guess and ask later. Give the charts a few thousand hands before you judge them. I hope you don't run bad, but it is possible. Give them a chance over a few thousand hands before you judge them. Here is my graph in which I recently tested these exact charts. With that out of the way, let's break down how to use the charts. Here they are again. On the left hand side is the pre-flop chart. The right hand side is for post-flop. Let's cover pre-flop first. Basic Pre-Flop Chart Step-by-step guide to using the chart: Step 1: When it's your turn to act, establish the situation and find it on the left hand side. The possible situations are: • Line 1: The pot is unopened and you decide whether or not to open min raise. If you see a single hand listed, it includes both suited and unsuited and all hands greater. For example, X8 is all non-pair hands where the kicker is at least an 8. This would include K8s+, Q8s+, J8s+, T8s+, 98s, K8o+, Q8o+, J8o+, T8o+, and 98o. • Line 2: Shows you when to limp. Most of your limps will be a complete from the SB. There will be no limping from any other position except with AK Under The Gun and the Hijack, where you will go for a limp-raise. You only limp the SB when someone else has already limped, otherwise you raise, if it is unopened. • Line 3: Shove versus limpers range. Lets you know what range you should shove over limpers with from each position. • Line 4: 3-bet range vs. non steals. For when someone else has open raised Under The Gun or from the Hijack and you need to know whether or not to 3-bet shove. • Line 5: Resteal range. 3-bet range when someone else has opened from the Cutoff, Button, or Small Blind. • Line 6: Covers what range to 4-bet if you get 3-bet after raising. If it is 3-bet before it gets to you, only cold 4-bet QQ+. (Yes, fold AK.) Step 2: Once you've figured out the situation, you then continue with the range in the corresponding box to the right in the correct column based on your position. There are three columns, each covering two positions. Under The Gun and the Hijack seats are combined, the Cutoff has it's own column, and the Button and both positions in the Blinds are combined. That is it for the pre-flop chart. Hard it believe it's that easy right? Here are some examples, in case it isn't perfectly clear. 1. It folds to you in the Cutoff and you look down at K7o. Since it is unopened, you look line 1 and move across to CO and see a range of 55+,A5,X8. That means you are supposed to open min raise a pair of fives and better, any Ace with a 5 kicker or better, and any hand with an 8 kicker or better. Fold all other hands. Easy stuff, right? And very easy to memorize. Getting back to the question, since you hold K7o but need K8 or better, you kick your cards into the muck and move on to the next hand. 2. You are in the small blind and there are 2 limpers before you act. You look down at 77. Checking the chart, you first check "SHV VS LIMPERS" to see if you can profitably shove all in over the top of them. You look to the right in the "BTN/BLINDS" column and see a range of 88,AQ. Oops, you only have 77. So you move down one row to see if you can limp. The range for limping in the SB is 22+,Ax, and X7... so, yes, you can. Oh wait, that's the same exact range you can open raise from the SB with! How convenient, so easy to remember. (This was not done by accident.) 3. Here it gets slightly tricky (but not really). The UTG player open raises and you have 88 on the button. You check line 2 of the chart.. wait which line do I look at? Is it my position or his??? WTH Jim, so confusing. The chart always refers to the position you are seated in. You check the chart and the range is 99+, AQ+. Holy crap, that's tight! So you fold your eights. 4. I don't need a long example for the last thing I need to cover, cold 4-betting. If someone else 3-bets before it is your turn to act.. only commit QQ+. Yes, throw those Jacks away. AK? Into the muck. Got it? Okay, good.. we are getting somewhere. I'm not going to belabor the point here. If you have any poker background at all, this should be straightforward. However, if you are unsure or have any questions, don't hesitate to email me at automaticpoker@gmail.com. Let's continue and look at post-flop next. Basic Post-Flop Chart There are two charts built into one here. You will either be last to act, or not last to act. In position, or out of position. Just use the top or bottom based on your position. Crystal clear? Good. Let's talk about hand strength tiers. Some have trouble with this at first, so here is an explanation taken directly from my book. If you already own it, this should be second nature for you. My approach for assigning specific hole cards to hand strength tiers is based loosely on the Renton Theorem. The strategy consists of sorting holdings into sub-groups of hand ranges and playing the hands within each group in a similar manner. The benefit of playing this way is that it simplifies matters for you and inherently balances your range. In other words, it makes you much more difficult to read, since you will sometimes play completely different holdings the same way and other times play hands that appear to be identical in another way. Here are the four tiers of post-flop hand ranges: Tier 1- This is the post-flop "nut" range. Hands that you never fold and would like to uploads/Finance/ acp-basic-strategy-guide.pdf
