Hey people,I have a question regarding the Nash method. How deep the effective stack must be? Some people say 10BB, some people say 7BB. Of course, 3BB is not that much....but it's still 3BB ^^. So, I would like to know what is most profitable (only for pushing since I am aware that calling with Nash chart can be catastrophic). Moreover, for the people who have constant succes, do you use it or don't even bother?ThanksMR
I use nash against people who i feel i cant exploit very much. People who play decent post flop so limping isn't great, and people who will shove over min raisies frequently. I use it up to 12bbs until 50/100 and then switch to it even if we have 15bb stacks. When using nash you have to remember that you have to be jamming everything on the list at the stacks it says for nash to stay unexploitable. If your jamming everything but JJ-AA and just limping/minraising them then the very bottom of your shoving range becomes exploitable.
Mersenneary mentions in one of his earlier videos (6 or 8 I believe) that NASH up to 7 or 8 bb is generally +EV and that you often can find more profitable ways to adjust to an opponent at 9+BB.I personally used to have the 10bb type area as my soft limit for NASH and would use a mixed strategy any deeper. At times I would use a minraising strategy even at 9bb, as some players just won't 3bet you more than a few % of the time.
