Re: long reply (oddly, not very ranty at all)
I disagree that 100BB is "deep stack" poker. That is simply about the minimum that lets you play poker all the way to the river. Typical NL1/2 game the preflop raise is to $12, maybe 3 see the flop, $36 in the pot, everybody has $188 left. You like the flop and put an almost-pot-size bet of $30 in, get one caller, $96 in the pot, $158 left. Turn looks safe, you wager 2/3 of the pot and put in $60, get called, $98 left, $216 in the pot. $98 goes in on the river.
Anything less than $200 and you might as well just push the turn. 100BB is "normal" poker. 50BB is short-stack poker. 200BB is "deep stack". (By my own definitions, anyway--dunno what any official wisdom claims.)
