Asymmetrical 3-max pack was developed by the coach and spin & go player Tema2010.

Today many people know the strategy of playing with equal effective stacks in 3-max, but in case one of the players has a very short stack at the table it is easy to make a mistake and lose value by playing the standard strategy (for example BTN 20bb, SB 20bb, BB 5bb). With Asymmetrical 3 max pack you will be able to understand what kind of changes will occur if one of the players' stack decreases and how the strategy of other players at the table will change.

Let’s compare the 20bb strategy with symmetric effective stacks and a strategy where the big blind has 5bb left.

Standard strategy with equal 20bb stacks
All-in - green
Raise - blue
Call - yellow
Fold - grey

BTN SB vs BTN min raise BB vs BTN min raise + SB fold Strategy with stacks BU=20bb, SB=20bb, BB=5bb

BTN SB vs BTN min raise BB vs BTN min raise + SB fold In this situation some players start opening more tightly from BTN bewaring of short stack on BB, but in reality our equity will allow us to call him all-in with any hand in the standard open range.

In this situation some players start opening more tightly from BTN bewaring of short stack on BB, but in reality our equity will allow us to call him all-in with any hand in the standard open range.

The pack contains 9 basic situations in 3-max where the influence of asymmetric stacks is manifested:

BTN
SB vs BTN min raise
SB vs BTN open shove
BB vs BTN min raise
BB vs BTN open shove
BB vs min raise + call
BB vs min raise + all-in
BB vs open shove + call
BB vs open shove + all-in

Additionally, charts for all combinations of stacks multiples of 5 are prepared. A new pack structure has been implemented for this reason: the charts are divided into groups according to the Hero stack in each situation (5, 10, 15, 20, 25 bb). All possible stack combinations are indicated within each group (34 options total for one situation).

A training session similar to a real game is available to study the charts. You can choose stack size, hand range, and the game situation. After training, you can evaluate the results in the Statistics section. And also see the mistakes.
