At the beginning of the video when you call min raise on BB w 75o – isn’t the guy raising that too short to justify that call? (he has only 17bb). And also isn’t that call too loose taking in consideration position from which he is raising? (the guy is raising from middle position and he also is shallow, so it doesn’t seem that he will raise wide range here). Also what will actually be your minimum stack requirement to call such raises from BB – and at which stack you will only start doing folding/shoving? Also you talk about bluffing this guy on the river if he checks the turn – why do you think that 6000 bet will be enough, why not to bet all in as he is very shallow at that point?

Hi Mike. I think you’re right that this is a bit too wide. Only a bit, though: I think 75s, 76o, and 97o are all calls. I think I’ve written this elsewhere, you actually need to pay MORE attention to pot odds and less to postflop playability/reverse implied odds as the effective stack gets shorter. The only reason to play more tightly against a short stack is when you think that means the player will be opening a stronger range than he otherwise would from that position (which is often the case). But I don’t think there is a point where you have to either shove/fold unless V just folds too much to shoves. But any time there is a range that you can’t profitably shove, there’s a good chance that the best hands in that range can be profitably called.
As for the river bluff, my target would be unpaired hands and perhaps Villain’s weakest pairs. 6000 risks less than 1/3 of what shoving would risk and I think succeeds well over half as often.
