To clarify, were you mid-stakes pros already trying to manipulate the pot so that the ratios (smallest stack to pre-flop pot size) were in the range you wanted?

I've known concepts like min-raising (to effectively up the stakes), flat-calling to keep the pots small, etc., etc. but hadn't ever thought of trying to keep the pot size in proportion to the remaining stacks within a particular range. I guess I'd never seen this discussed before (though I haven't been actively reading the strategy forums this past year).
