Question 1: short stack - I wait for a big hand early pos. JJ up, AJ up to shove. The hand strength decreases the closer I get to the button. If it's folded to me on the button, any face card or connecting cards I will shove.

Questions 2: cash games - when i fist started i use to go on tilt and move up in stakes to chase losses. DO NOT DO THIS. I lost so much money trying to do this. These days I set an amount I'm willing to lose. If I hit that amount then I quit and leave. Or if I feel like I'm running bad I'll take whatever I have left and leave the game.

In order to cool off, I will usually take a walk or some sort of activity to get the stress out. Just stepping away from the game will help.


Question 4: If I'm on a huge downswing, I will either move to lower stakes or just play free rolls till I feel like I am playing well as well as running well.
