Short Stack Strategy…Things I Have Learned

9 days, 38,000 hands (6 winning days, 3 losing days) Yesterday didnt go to well as I didnt follow my rules, and had a nice 15 buy in loss. All hands used for the strategy are winners except for KQs, and AJs. They are modest loosers. So you may ask what rules didnt I follow. […]
