Poker Strategies
After receiving pocket cards, you are immediately faced with a choice: play your cards and either raise or call the blinds, or fold.
Practice Matters
Just make sure
Just make sure that when you are squeezing as a bluff you aren't committing yourself against shorter stacks. If there's a short stack in the big blind, it's something to consider, but it's also not likely they will have a hand worth shoving often enough unless they are a really good short stacker. Most short stackers are not.
If the cut-off and button are short though
If the cut-off and button are short though make sure you won't leave yourself in a spot to have to call off more money getting 2:1 on your money or better. With any Ax hands you'll be forced to call if your opponent on the button shoves, and you are getting 2:1 on a call with a hand like A5o. Even a hand like K7o you'll be slightly priced in to call versus a button's likely shoving range.
