Re: PNL Study Group Day 2: Stack Sizes
Hi Fammy,
Thanks for the post. I'm not exactly sure what you're asking, but it sounds like you're asking two different things. One, "is playing a 50bb stack acceptable or effective in certain situations?" Of course it is. Particularly if you're new to cash games, as you mentioned you are. Your mistakes are limited, and you can get a "feel" for the game without being uncomfortable.
Secondly, it sounds like you're asking "is it okay to flat call preflop with strong hands rather than reraise?" Of course it is. Particularly with a 50bb stack, this often works well with strong top pair hands. If your opponents will fold weaker portions of their range to a rr, and in addition, they'll keep firing at you postflop when you let them have initiative, why not trap more?
Thanks,
Sunny
