Suppose I have a 28BB stack.

Suppose I have a 28BB stack. In general, I will look for one spot to raise to 2.25BBs from late position with a weak hand in an attempt to steal the blinds. If I lose, I have 25BBs and can play the standard strategy for that stack size. If I win, I can continue to gamble to build my stack. If I have 35BBs, I have 10BBs to gamble with. I will usually spend these either raising from late position or, when the situation permits, re-raising an aggressive player before the flop. If someone raises to 2.5BBs from middle position, I will be very likely to re-raise to 6.5BBs with a wide range. I will fold all my weak hands to a re-raise. I will obviously play all my strong hands the same way. Notice that your raises and re-raises should get smaller along with your stack.

When using this strategy,

When using this strategy, be careful not to make a hand like middle pair and lose all your chips. Your primary goal when raising and re-raising with these weak hands is to steal the pot before the flop. Suppose someone raises to 2.5BBs and you re-raise to 6.5BBs from the button out of your 37BB stack with 9-8. The raiser calls and you see an A-K-3 flop. If your opponent checks, then make a continuation bet of around 8BBs every time. This puts you below 25BBs, but it’s fine to make a standard continuation bet as long as you don’t go too far below that. Of course, you’ll fold to a raise, and give up basically every time if called.
