We saw this effect last year, people with VERY deep stacks relative to the blinds (30 BB +) getting all in preflop with marginal type hands (AJo, 66, etc.)

30 BB's is not even close to deep, much less 'very deep'.

[/ QUOTE ]

It's not deep. But, it's deep enough so that you can just call the standard 3xBB pre-flop raise with some marginal hands rather than pushing all-in with them.

At 30 BB's and with antes, your M is about 10. Time to start making moves of your own.

1.) The antes are huge in the ME, so if we're going to discuss strategy please use M (as above)

2.) With M=10, calling a raise is generally a real bad idea unless somebody donkraises and you are in the BB getting odds. Reraise or fold.

3.) With M=10, you generally want to be conservative, not "making moves".
