perhaps I'll do a video on short stack shoving ranges in tournaments, if there is enough interest. it is a super important topic for online sit-n-goes and live tournaments where the blinds rise very fast. knowing correct shoving ranges can instantly give you a huge edge on beginners.
If 4BB blinds is 1/3 or more of your stack, you have 12BB or less. A 4BB preflop open raise pot commits you and decreases the chance you can get your opponent to fold on the flop...either a better hand like bottom pair or a strong draw. This is why you should only fold or shove with 12BB or less. You can actually do this with quite a wide range of hands depending on your position. Any pair and most Aces could be correct to shove on the button with 12BB. I would shove AA, KK, AK from any position
Good question @jedipenguin. Preflop bet sizing advice can vary. A source that recommends larger than 3 BB is trying to simplify post flop decisions for beginners. Larger preflop bets discourage action from opponents and decrease likelihood of multi-way pots (which complicate post flop decisions). As you improve post flop, i would encourage you to make all preflop raises the same size to disguise hand strength, unless you have a clear reason not to. Stack size covered in next comment.
I read that you should raise 4 BB's as a standard and then to add one more BB for every limper that enters the pot when in late position? If the bet is more than one third of the chips you have in total, then to go all in.
Does this seem correct? Or does this depend on the hand you have, AA, KK, AKs? Is the shove hand dependant, mainly on those three?
