Re: Big stack steal: stack sizes
don't count the chips - make this calculation with M (M=stack/blinds+antes).
steal against opponents who are not big, but not desperate either - this is usually about M=10 - so here you would say about 90k. can be a little bit more or less.
shortstacks need to double up soon and will therefor liberally call in the BB where they get good odds.
btw it's always better to steal from a bigstack than from a smallstack. with your 120k here you can push against a 200k stack - cause he has much to loose - and most people get tighter the more chips they have.
