Short Stacks
From Poker Ascent: 110,000+ drills across 10 skills, graded against the player type you are facing.
40 big blinds or fewer. The math simplifies: fewer streets of decisions, commitment arrives fast.
Raise-or-fold replaces call-and-see preflop; speculative hands lose their reason to exist because there are no implied odds to chase.
Postflop, top pair is usually a commit: with an SPR under 4 the fold button on top pair good kicker mostly disappears, and combo draws prefer shoving to calling because fold equity plus card equity beats calling to hit.
The short stack's edge is refusing hard decisions: pick strong preflop ranges and let the stack size make the postflop choices.
Versus the maniac, short stacks are your friend: the all-in call with a made hand comes at the best possible price.
Poker Ascent drills every depth: hundreds of hands where the correct answer is graded against your stack size and your opponent at the same time.
