around the 11-20BB range what do you do with low ax hands. Do you just ship them. Like at 18BBs. Should I open shove A4o versus most opponents? I tend to just min-raise or limp. I feel like around 11-15BBs I am actually limping/shoving a lot of my hands rather than minraising/shoving, because min-raising somewhat commits me to calling a shove sometimes.

With low pocket pairs I'm not sure either. I know that I often 3-bet low pockets all-in at this level and also Axs, but what about when I'm opening the pot. Can I really just ship 22 for 20BBs? I know it is better than folding, but what about limp/shoving?

A lot of this stuff depends, but my shorter stack game could use a bit of work perhaps.

Another thing, I sometimes limp AKish hands at 15BBish to induce shoves. How infrequent does this have to happen before open shoving is better?

are you talking about spins on hu?

Not familiar with what spins are. I'm just talking about a typical HU game where the blinds start to get pretty shallow.

U can do anything except fold tbh. It all depends.

What you're asking here is a very complex question. How you're playing at the 25bb and below stack depth is extremely opponent dependent, and requires a dynamic approach if you want to maximize profitability in these spots. In fact, these situations have a game entirely devoted to them--hypers

To put it simply, you should study a lot of the hypers materials available out there, because they address exactly these things, and even as a strictly turbo player, you'd be utterly remiss to not have them down pat.

There is never an always in poker

Of course depend of your opponent, if he flat 90% it is better to start open shoving with better EV, if he flat 50% or less easy minraise fold.
