Professional poker player Artem Kobylynskyi shares insights from winning the Triton 30K Short Deck event. He discusses adapting to live-streamed final tables, exploiting opponents' mistakes in unfamiliar formats, and the strategic differences between short deck and hold'em poker variants.
Kobylynskyi emphasizes discipline and small-ball aggression while waiting for opponents to make costly errors in unfamiliar poker variants.
Tournament Mastery Highlights:
-
Chaos Management - Thriving when opponents lack understanding of optimal short deck strategy and exploiting their fundamental mistakes
- ICM Adaptation - Adjusting tournament strategy from hold'em knowledge while navigating unfamiliar short deck ICM spots with limited solver data
- Live Stream Pressure - Managing final table dynamics under bright lights while tracking opponent tendencies through selective showdowns
- Bet Sizing Evolution - Avoiding oversized bets in multi-way pots that characterized early short deck play, favoring controlled aggression instead
- Stack Leverage - Using disciplined small-ball approach to accumulate edges rather than risking everything in single high-variance spots
- Opponent Profiling - Reading aggressive players like Mike Watson and adjusting timing based on live stream delay considerations
- Format Advantages - Preferring pot-limit pre-flop structure over no-limit to prevent bigger stacks from dominating through pure aggression
