Choosing a limit for the game you need to take into account the size of the bankroll. It should be about 2500 times higher than the size of the big blind of the table, after which it is planned to start playing. You have to take 100 big blinds for the table.

Example: If the table limit is 0.5 / 1 $, you must sit at the table with a $ 100 stack and have at least $ 2500 on the account.

The range of hands played with the big stack strategy is somewhat extended. To pocket monsters should be added medium and large suited connectors, medium and small pairs. This is justified, since the game should not follow a strict instruction, but with the use of various poker techniques and bluffing. In each hand you need to make decisions depending on the behavior of specific opponents, vary the size of bets, change the tactics of bidding. Playing more loose with pocket cards, all-in is worth only going with pocket monsters, as with the strategy of short stacks.

You need to buy after each hand, because if you reduce your stack, you risk getting a lower profit on subsequent distributions. In each hand, in which you have a winning combination, you need to increase the pot as much as possible, because thanks to the large stack, you have the opportunity to collect all or almost all of the chips from rivals for one draw.


The choice of the table must be carried out especially carefully. It's pointless to play with a high stack at the table, behind which sit players with shabby stacks. When choosing a table, you should pay attention to the game of future opponents. It is desirable that at the table there were as few players playing on the strategy of short stacks. You can identify them by observing some time during the game.

As far as I am concerned, $2500 is enough for 300NL.
I am not going to lose 8 buy-ins in a row, regardless of stakes.....
