Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6707907, member: 289533"] I agree with that: as deeper the stack size, heavier our value range. We push our bluff range in situations like this only when we are 99% sure that the opponent is a decent player capable of folding very strong hands such as straights and flushes. Thanks for your attention mate. I think that we shouldn’t change our opening sizings because of stack depth. Hero opens 2.5x IP with its entire range, i.e, hero opens a lot of hands from BU and certainly will fold to some 3-bets: for every fold hero saves 0.5 BB, in the long run makes a lot of difference. Some players elect to open raise 3x from EP and 2.5x from LP and 3-4x from the blinds (versus one limper). I think it’s okay to do it, but personally I like to open 2.5x from any position. We make the odds for players in the blinds better, but we open to get calls from the blinds and overplay them. I’m not any specialist on deep stack poker, but it’s a subject that I give special attention for a couple of years. The reasons is that a few years ago I tilted very bad and stopped playing for months because of a deep stacked pot: I had AA and 4-bet a tight player IP: it comes a low flop and I make a polarized c-bet (hero and villain had 300 BB each), villain calls. OTT comes a king, I fire once more and villain raised: I knew it could’ve been holding KK but even so I jammed: villain called and showed KK and I went mad 😡 After that I watched a couple of deep stacked pots on Nathan Williams Channel and understood one major thing: players are going deep only with the absolute nuts, no illusions when we have AA, a bottom set, bottom straight, flushes on paired boards that villain is risking +200 BB for fun. I can’t find the video right now but there was a pot of over 1000 BB where one guy had a quads of jacks and the other went through with a boat losing +500 BB. [/QUOTE]
