Default Re: Refusing to play with short stacked players?

[ QUOTE ]
I find myself playing better when I have a big chip stack lead. It's easier to read players, desperation sets in and they'll play tight preflop and if they hit top pair or even middle pair they bet big, otherwise they usually fold to pressure.

[/ QUOTE ]This is all psychological, though. You can only play for the amount of money in the 2nd largest stack at the table- the chips you have over that amount are not in play. If you have a psychological advantage over your opponents, then use it. However, if you find that YOU make better plays with a stack "advantage" in a cash game, this points to a weakness in your own game.
