What do you guys think about this strtegy? I think it is fantastic since your game-play is different depending on your stack, and villians get wrong data of you in the hud.

If you have an edge in the game, having the max BI will always be the most profitable strategy.

Perhaps you could expand on what the multi-stack strategy is, give some details in the thread for those who might not be familiar with the concept.

I have heard of ss, full stack (100bb), and deep stack (200bb+) strategy for cash games but how exactly is there a single strategy that adapts for multiple stacks?

Perhaps you simply mean being able to adapt to any stack size or vs any stack size?

Maybe it's just something new I havn't come accross but not sure how a single strategy can cover multiple stack sizes when its a stack size that essentially determines at what point we must adjust (ie. switch stategies).

edit: maybe i'm thinking about the op more than i should lol.....as Sand pointed out the most profitable strategy is a max bi when you have an edge, so perhaps your "multistack" is referencing sitting to a table with different stack sizes outside of the full+ buyin?

I think he refers to having different stack sizes across multiple tables.

I believe OP means buying in to a game for different amounts each time to alter HUD stats since playing style will differ depending on stack size.

I get the premise, but I still strongly disagree with it. It seems like an artificial way to gain an edge rather than studying/practicing to actually improve.

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?

So essentially being able to play a ss strategy and then adjust to playing the standard 100b strategy rather than doubling your ss and leaving the table to sit at another.

This is extremely unprofitable IMO because if you have the skills to compete at the 100bb level and feel you have an edge you are losing value by first starting off with only a ss.


2 scenarios:
Think about it this way, you sit down with 40bb get dealt AA and du you now have 80bb.

You sit down with 100bb and get dealt AA and du yo now have 200bb.

By sitting with 100bb you just gained yourself 120bb more in the same hand as you would have if you had been sitting with only 40bb. Which sounds more profitable?

Tons of players at the micros dont even have HUDs, wont pay attention to, or even understand about how stack sizes influence play.

Maybe you'll get a few regs to colour code you as a fish for being SS, but it's not going to achieve anything profitable.

I am also not sure what a multi stack means. A few people have made suggestions as ti what OP means, but I have no idea.

I will say, (or repeat what has been said) if you are not buying in full you are missing value. Unless your games need improvement, and then it is a question of stakes.
