Poker Sit and Go Report: Not giving up when you are a Short Stack.
I have played in many single table tournaments where my stack was depleted quite early. It could be through no fault of my own play, but almost as often, I suffer from brain gaps as well. On the tougher side though, my AA losing to KK is a common scenario for this. (By the way, why does my KK never beat an opponents AA?) Here are the goods with being a short stack early in the tournament. Lets say my 1500 chips turns into 140 after my pocket aces go down to a chumps J9os. Yes, this happens more than you may realize on the internet! I was in the big blind when it happened and the blinds were just raised to 20/40. The way I see it, I can look at another twenty hands before I am forced to do something. Twenty hands provides me with a fair shot of seeing a decent hand to run with, but I am looking for other opportunities as well.
