Thanks. I'm not sure about what so I'll assume you mean pwning at life. Yes, it is something I necessarily get much pleasure from! [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Well I have a question on how to play a big stack with ( for example 6 handed )
Say you have 3800+, second stack has 2500 , then 2000 2000 etc.
Say blinds are at 100 or 150.
Do you change your strategy here ? Do you raise more hands?

Getting into trouble is quite easy for the not best STT players here. Your position will be the most important piece of information here, followed by stack sizes, configurations, actual hand (this is very important but is the easiest thing to evaluate), players (this is the hardest thing to evaluate but isn't necessarily that important b/c most ppl don't have any useful player specific or table specific info).
At the 100 level I will raise more in LP. Since your stack is fairly big you have much more pot control options at your disposal so you aren't as worried about raising and instantly playing some marginal hand in a pot you really want vs. players you don't know much about.
The same goes for 150 now that I think about it, [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
I haven't incorporated or engage in too much minr nonsense which could possibly be effective at the 150 level with a wide range of hands but I'm not sure at how profitable this actual may be so I don't bother with it much.

Do you make the same type of raise ( about 3 BB ) or little raise ? ( about 2 BB )
[/ QUOTE ]
I make a raise that is t250 or t400. Unless I have some loose foolios who will call a bigger raise when I have a v nice hand. Those are my standardish raise sizes but I vary here and there a bit basically randomly.

I ask that because I think I don't play well when I have a big stack, I am in the main part, waiting a good spot.

The best thing about having a big stack fairly early is you keep gaining EV by letting other ppl make -EV plays. It's okay that you seem to have fewer profitable plays than when you're a shorty.

( Obv I steal blinds like a maniac near to the bubble ... )

Yeah okay, I have no idea what this specifically means except that yes you need to "steal" alot but you also need to not be too aggro.
I tend to be a bit tighter than many when it comes to these types of situations and don't big stack bully a ton until it's at least 5 handed or 4 handed and the blinds are high, [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Who gets comments on the bubble almost every time from a big stack or 2p2 saying "wait till I have a hand you are so bad" or "wow, way to pwn us on the bubble [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]"
