Playing Cashgames with +100BB

The desicions are tougher when you play deep. You have to have steel nerves. If you dont feel comfortable dont play it and cash out. Because the fear will definitly affect your desicions. Other factor is your bankroll. If you have really deep bankroll for like 100 BI the go for it. It's good to have some expirience in deep stack playing because sometimes the fish will be deep. That's a good spot to make money

Spot-on advice StannisBarath3on!

But the only way to get comfortable is to play it.
Check to see if there are videos on playing deep-stacked -- or perhaps suggest in the coaching thread that you'd like to see some material on deep-stack play.

Generally, with deep stacks you can play more hands -- suited connectors etc can be added to your ranges from earlier position for example.

You can also play more aggressively, because the other guy is just as "scared" as you are!

Ranges are much wider, you should call more 3bets/raises with speculative hands, hand strength usually decreases.
You need to really grasp the concepts to play deep.
If you have an edge over them, it's the best thing for you winrate.

If you are indeed good in playing deep stack poker you should continue, but now with in mind you aren't that good with it you can better start a new table with a 100bb stack and make a new start. It's always better than getting in spots you not familiar in.

Hello friends, thank you so much for the replies!

I agree with you. It really comes down to confidence and experience. I made the adjustment of cashing out as soon as I posted it here and I think is for the goods.
I intend to improve my deepstack strategie sooner or later, but at this point I'm moving up in stakes (NL2>NL5) so my bankroll is way too sensible to swings, which makes a good point for not risking 3 buy ins at a single table.

When I'm deepstacked at NL2, though, I tend to keep playing as it increases the value I can extract from the fishes

See yall!

That feeling of being deep stacked at a tight table ♠_love:

IMO there's a lots of diffences between playing 100 bbs ou 175+.
I use to leave the table when i get higher than 175 bbs.

There are a lot of opportunities when playing deep-stacked.

Opportunities to win big pots -- and lose them.
