Deep Stack Strategy vs Short Stack Strategy – Which Do You Prefer?

[babyrosejr]

When playing MTTs, I always feel more comfortable with a deep stack (60BB+), where I can open more hands and apply pressure postflop. But I’ve noticed many successful players say that short and medium stacks (20–40BB) are actually easier to manage, because decisions are more straightforward.

Do you feel more confident playing deep stacks or short stacks?

What adjustments do you make when transitioning from deep to shallow play during a tournament?

Do you think modern poker strategy favors short-stack specialists more than deep-stack players?
