What I mean is you buy the minimum, which is 40bb at stars. When you double up or have around 100bb the way you play changes completely, you can play small pairs to catch sets, and play suited connectors when you have position. And thus, if you see that all the table is bigstack, and you are the only one with 40bb, you will move away the other players from their comfort zone, which is 100bb.
Was I clear?
