Episode notes
Push Chips Earlier Than 6 BB
- Don't wait until 6 big blinds to shove; be more aggressive earlier to maximize your chances of doubling up.
- The shorter your stack, the less fold equity you have, so push chips in sooner.
Open Shove Around 14-15 BB
- Open shove comfortably around 14-15 big blinds depending on hand and opponent tendencies.
- Use spot-specific strategies like shoving pocket twos on the button to prevent aggressive blinds from exploiting your opens.
3-Bet Shove Up To 25 BB
- As a three-bet shove, you can go as high as 25 big blinds, especially from out of position.
- It's tough to play a 25 BB stack post-flop out of position, so leverage this for maximum fold equity.
