Short Stack
Good afternon people. I watched a lecture this week in which the author said that when you are under 10BB the ideal is that you go only to All-in. It made me wonder if it’s really just an all-in situation. I would like to know from you: For you, how many BBs do you have to stay short stack and bet only on the All-in? Hugs!

Tournament tip – Micro
Good afternoon people! Today I am going to bring you a PokerStars Sit & Go that I love to play and that I manage to develop my game a lot. The tournament lasts approximately 2h / 2h20min and it is possible to recover, return to the game and all players play very consciously. So I come to share this experience with you. I hope you enjoy it too. Tournament: Sit & Go $ 3.50 NL Hold’em [45 Players] Hugs!

[AA] vs [ITM]
Good afternoon, everyone! I would like to know from you what you would do in the following situation: You are at BB, being the last to answer, and you receive an AA with 5k of chips. The table rotates and the button goes All-in with 10k chips. Knowing that only one player needs to be eliminated to be ITM, would you call and risk leaving without winning anything or will you fold to guarantee a prize? Hugs!

Live vs Online
Good night people! All right? I am an amateur poker player, I use poker as a hobby, but I intend to make it a profitable hobby. I am an online poker player and play with my friends in person, but without much money involved. I would like to ask you who have experience and play both ways, what is the main difference between playing online and facing your opponent looking eye to eye? Thanks and hugs!

$2 NLHE 6-max: Folding Full House on River
Was not really keen to get too involved here multi way with the underpair, then rivered a full house.
Folded to the shove as it just looked like villain (12/8 over 27 hands) slow played a monster to me. Just too bonkers to be doing that with anything besides AJ, AA or JJ. Seems a bonkers move with a flush that made it on the river, but of course this is 2NL….
What would you do?

Deliberately slowing down the game in a tournament ?
A mate told me that some players tend to take a lot of time to slow the game down in a big tournament. The idea is to wait for players to go out to have a better chance of reaching the prize spots.
Is that a strategy worth taking, or does it spoil the fun for the rest of the players on the table ?
Poker should be fun. Probably fun only if you win something perhaps. 😀
