Hello,

I know I've seen it, but for the life of me, I cannot find the thread. Of course I'm talking about the (adjusted) starting hand chart for SSS SH (6 max). Anyone happen to have it handy?

I don't think there's a SH starting chart for SSS at all. I have seen a SH starting hand chart for BSS.

SH is for bigstacks and middlestacked donks, keep your short little thingies on the fullring tables!.. _cool:

I'm coming to SH without a chart, just for you!


There are no "starting hand charts" for SSS SH. As someone who has played it I can tell you that theres nothing like the basic sss charts. And the swings are absolutely sick, theres some graphs of black members trying it that are just disgusting . Do you speak french by any chance? you can find some on it there!

I don't speak french =D. I don't suppose you can give me a link to one of those charts ay?


As I said theres no real starting hand, open raise chart etc. Its very dependent, if you have skype send me a PM or just leave your skype in here, i'll add you to talk to you more about it some.

Hey ShinShya,

There were some charts & theories developed on the German, Spanish and even Italian forums - but the swings were so sick that many players simply abandoned the projects.

I couldn't find the German thread but perhaps the Spanish one will help you along a bit :)

Best regards

This was discussed heavily on 2+2 a year or two ago as well. I think there were a few SHC published there as well.

I remember the strategy being VERY player dependent and HUD intensive. For example if more than two players were below 25% VP$IP then you couldn't play the table profitably.

I think the sick swings come from the fact that standard TAG pre-flop play is already optimal against a short-stack.

dadude77,

I sent you an invite via skype.


Hi,

ive heard that SSS SH may only be viable on limits higher than NL100. I would suspect that using stats would be key in the strategy.

It isn't too profitable at the lower limits, I have personally played on NL 25/50 probably about 30-40k hands and know people that have played up in the nosebleed and they reccomended playing regular SSS until NL200/400 than switching. It just won't be profitable until then.
