Hello guys
I’ve got a problem with my <15bb range. For example: I fold to a 3bet 47% of the time with my 15-20bb range in UTG2 which seems reasonable. The issue accurse when I’m only 12-15bb deep. I start jamming (in the same example) some part of my range right away so my continuing range is a lot weaker. Now when I opening with a min-raise (12-15bb deep) I have to fold against a 3bet 60% of the time (in other positions even more) which seems way too high. My idea is since we have to open the same amount of hands with 12-15bb (because they are profitable as an open for <20bb they shout be even more profitable with <15bb, more equity realization short stacks) to increase the continuing range with around 20-24 combos.
What do you think?

Short summary:
UTG2: 15-20bb Min-raise opening: 184 combos, Jamming: 0 combos, FT3B: 88 combos (47%)

UTG2: 12-15bb Min-raise opening: 126 combos, Jamming: 58 combos (AJo-AKo, KQs, 88-TT), FT3B: 76 combos (60%)


Thankful for every answer

Why are you playing <15BB stacks? Is this a tournament thing? I assume so from the min-raise pre comments which you would never do in cash. If so, LLSNL is a cash-game forum, and you want a tournament forum.

I don't really understand the context of this question or what the exact question is.

On the point about opening hand range though you are wrong. There are hands that are profitable to open when stacks are above a certain point that are unprofitable when below that point. Because you don't have as much FE or implied odds the raw hand strength becomes more important.

This both reduces and changes the profitable range. Reduces it becuase hands like T9s that can flop well have good implied odds. Changes it because hands like KTo have good strength when you are shoving preflop but have a lot of reverse implied odds if you play all the street.

Pretty confident you want to post this in the small stakes MTT or STT strategy forums.
