I'm not even sure if I'm giving you the right answer here, but usually you're balancing your ranges based on your own two hole cards: Ie: 3-betting with AA-JJ, AK-AQs, J10s-76s. I think adjusting ranges based on villian's tendencies are...

Play with poker stove a lot, then you will start just knowing how you range does vs an opponents.Then you will start value-betting more and better.Which = Monies.Think of it this way he has a value range and a bluff range which one is he most likely using here on me and which can I beat.

The situation hardly ever comes up for me(I play shorthanded), so I have no real data to analyze, but I believe if I see 5 limpers ahead of me and I look down and see 23s I would call profitably, looking to flop a monster. I really don't think this is the worst time to...

How do you figure you have 50% to win.

Yes, if you think you have a skill advantage against these short-stackers, then buying in full is the most +EV thing to do

That's like saying that you prefer to use SALARYx10/decade as a more accurate measurement of your salary because it implies a larger sample size. Adding zeros to both sides of an equation does not infer sample size. no, nobody is saying bi/10k is a more accurate unit. i'm saying it should be used for the same reason that we measure...

You can gain an edge for sure shortstacking with other short stacks, simply by knowing your hand ranges by seat, and that preflop aggression is king with a tiny stack. Wait for a decent preflop hand, get all the money in 4 ways with 40% of the equity. The edge is somewhat capped tho. Mostly these live games are great because the players are so used to playing poorly, and are able to not lose too much because their stacks are so shallow. When...
