SSNL Common Spots #1

Well the only way this can be true is if you get it all in preflop.

Not the only way...but I think its related to that. You are much more likely to get it all in if stacks are short. If you raise preflop then your stack to pot ratio is reduced and you are more likely to get it all in sooner.

The shorter the stack the greater the effect but there should be some effect with anything less than infinite stacks.

I think this is a point made in NLTP but I need to look it up. It goes against the maxim "avoid playing big pots when OOP" and I haven't thought about it enough to reconcile these concepts. I'll try to look it up and give it more thought...hopefully someone will pop in here and make it easier for me.
