Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6784030, member: 397965"] Not sure if "all the coaches" say that, but there is definitely an argument to be made for avoiding deep stacked play, if you are new to cash games. And in Zoom its actually very easy to "go south". You sit out on the big blind, close the table, and then buy right back in again with a 100BB stack. With that being said 155BB is not that extreme, and as a cash game player you have to get used to such stack sizes sooner or later. But it can certainly be reasonable to "go south", if you get above say 200BB. I still remember a massive cooler, which happened to me at 10NL Zoom. We were 250BB effective, and LJ (UTG) opened. I called on BTN with TT, and BB called as well. LJ checked, and I checked back for pot control on a board of A53 rainbow. Turn was a wonderfull T, or at least so I thought. On the turn LJ made a delayed C-bet, I raised, BB folded, and now much to my surprice LJ put in a 3-bet. I was like "what the heck does he have" and did not feel great about it, so I just called. On a blank river he made a massive overbet for the rest of my chips. I kind of wanted to fold but convinced myself, my hand was "to strong". So I called, and of course he had top set with AA, which he had slowplayed on the flop allowing me to catch up. Insanely annoying hand, which cost me 2½ stacks. But honestly looking back at it I could just have folded. Its completely illusional to think, such a line is ever anything other than exactly AA. And in the same way the line, your opponent took here, is almost always going to be AQ or TT. [/QUOTE]
