How do you play when you are deep-stacked? Let's discuss strategies for maximizing our success at the tables. Playing with a deep stack can present unique opportunities and challenges, requiring a different approach compared to playing with a shorter stack.
Do you have any specific strategies or adjustments you make when you have a deep stack in cash games? How does your range and opening sizes change? Are you more inclined to play speculative hands or focus on premium holdings?
Usually, as deeper we get more polarized our ranges, i.e, we are either going with the cold stoned nuts or we are going with pure air.
bluffing deep stacked at the micros is a great way to lose all of your blinds.
When we are deeper players will respect us more than usual and on the flip side, some players will be leveling against us unusually.
Be careful, for if we own KK and we have 300 BB facing another player with 300 BB, are we going all-in preflop? We should go, but are we really doing it?
Cash it’s not like tournaments at all, where in a tournament you can be deep stacked and eliminate a bunch of short stacked opponents: most of players at a cash table are deep (the sole strategy of cash games is to play deep stacked).
When we are holding + 250 BB we can start to considering to fold full houses when we feel we are owned.
As bigger our stack more we want to play postflop, more we want to have the absolute nuts, for our opponents will also be thinking the same.
Watch out for bottom sets, lower straights, flush nuts where there’s a doubled card on the board, full houses where you have a pair and hit a set followed by a doubled card that give you a full house and you get too much action of a good player (decent) having + 300 BB.
It’s dangerous to play these pots and it requires a solid psychological structure for when we get busted.
