Many online poker tutorials offer strategies that are more suitable for advanced players rather than beginners. Strategy requirements for beginners even if they are hardly familiar with the game of poker are the following: it [the strategy] should be simple to learn and remember, has to insure the player doesn’t lose all the money and, if possible, has to prevent the player from having to make complicated decisions.

The main idea of the short stack strategy is to play with the stack of 20 big blinds (20BB) or less. According to the strategy, you actively play only the strongest hands. You hand will often be higher than that of your opponent, which is important for a beginner to have a steady game. Meanwhile the small size of the stack allows playing pre-flop aggressively, and during the flop either go all-in or fold the hand depending on the situation. Your game therefore will be quite simple and you won’t be taking complicated decisions.
