Excellent dude. I am a huge fan of SSS. It always increases my bankroll using SSS then I use what I make to to play good free real poker and anythiing I make from that lets me step up limits. Congrats.

Well done! Thats a nice spin up! Get it up to 1k now!
Can someone post details of SSS pls? From what I've read the theory behind it is very very weak. It seems ridiculously high variance and low skill. Seems to me like you would have a very small edge in a game applying this, and would be much better off full-stacking lower stakes where you are properly bankrolled.

Lol i just read your thread at ps.de in the "Eure Erfolge"-forum ! dickes gratz i was never able to get warmwith the SSS i prefer FL and SnG's but it's great that you made such nice profit over the last few days so keep A-gameand good luck for your further games
@tommygunne: im sry but it would be not fair to transfer the knowledge that i got from other pokerschools into here. am afraid too, that my account there could be denied...; )that isnt the worth... but one thing i can tell you; use any websearch-engine and search about it and u will find some information about it.

Tommy, the thoery behind SSS is very very strong. Especially for a small bankroll on small stakes. It is very low skill but will always increases your bankroll at lower limits. I must add that you have a very high edge applying SSS on small limits and that anyone applying it would not be better off fullstacking on lower stakes. They are applying because they are properly building their bankroll as you insisted they should do. playing SSS the advantage is always yours and I really don't want to go into depth regarding it as you already seem to know the basics so should read the rest.

SSS means Short Stack Stategy the main idea behind this play is all your decisions are made pre flop or on the flop. its a good strategy for new players or if your bankroll is very small. it takes a long time to climb the levels tho.

cobbs666 already described it pretty good. it is a strategy where you take just a small amount to the table i think like 20BB so at a 5c/10c table you buyin with 2$. and you only play very strong hands AA,KK,QQ,JJ,AK,AQ,KQ and becaue your stack is so small your money is alreadyin the pot either preflop or at least at the flop so you don't have to concentrate on the play on the turn and river. it is a good strategy for beginners but it can be very swingy and you don't really learn "real" poker because it more like a push/fold strategy !
when you play deeper stacked poker preflop values for hands go down more and more, suited connector vs aces preflop is almost always 80 20, or a four to one favourite, but by the turn or river the suited connector can be a huge favourite and get paid off by the people holding the premium pocket pairs, so it can win whole stacks the times that it hits monsters or it gets away cheaply when it misses,
by playing sss you take away the ability for the rubbish to draw to there monsters and then get you all in, you almost allways have the edge preflop with sss but it does often come down to races, but you get in them so often as at least a small favourite that over the long term you make money
Not that im contributing anything to this discussion but what does the SSS mean? Im really confused. But I agree with flatra Always play your nuts more agressive.

SSS = Short stack stretgy. Basically from any position you play AA-KK. You raise 4xBB + 1 for each caller with the exception of the blinds. So say you are on late position and you get 4 limpers in 0.05/0.10 you would bet 0.80. With AA-KK you reraise a raiser 3 x his raise if you get one caller then you 4x raise and so on. With QQ-JJ, AK from any position you reraise one raise as mentioned before but fold if there are 2 raises before you. TT-99 you only play from Mid-Blind position again raising as mentioned but fold if someone raised before you. 88-77 from late-blind only rasing as mentioned above but again folding to any raise before you. AQ, Mid-Blind again only playing/raising if no one raises before you. AJ-KQ only form Late/Blind. Thats a quick guide to the strategy preflop.
You only buy in with 20 BB rebuy at 15 BB & Leave the table with 25 BB. you normally can make more than 25BB if you get a few callers and get lucky.
@GeneYuss yeah im aiming guess its not a problem for me. now i got 380,28VIP points. but only 127€ : ( . WHERE IS MY NEXT UPSWING?; ).
a question geneyuss... what is about ur withdrawl at unibet did they still froze the acc or did it fit with it?
------------ @flatra: but i didnt want to risk that anyone folds... sure i got 60% till showdown but: hold them at line till u got the nuts really; ).... im very tight through lost a no deposit boni at PokerRoyale after making 35€ profit with starting BR 10€. and then Bad Beat after BadBeat... AQ vs 2 times KQ at the turn i push all in cause they checked everytime... at river the king appeared only 4,38% for the K and it came. such these situations... have to build a very fat case for my downswings when they rush me; )
PS. can be it is $ at the pokerroyale but i dont know it... forgotten...
erm... is it ok to tell about no deposit-boni? its no affiliate link from me. i dont earn anything...!

I think tommygunne is right but it's a very good way to start a bankroll especially for newcommers to the game since the decision making gets very easy. BTW I think the theory behind it is actually very strong but you are right you get a much higher variance and ofcourse not much value on the strong hands. Very few people play correct SSS (Very TAG) but those who use it right will get good results guaranteed. Though I would prefer full stack with correct bankroll management.
BTW....Nice job and nice hand noobyfish keep'em comming

noobyfish, I was aiming for 500vip points too but I was busy and only went to 200 cause I can cashout at 200. It has been about a week since they froze my account and still frozen
I think I should email them. I cashed out 204Euro, $317 which is pretty nice and hopefully they will unfreeze my account.
!
