A Stack-Management Strategy Specifically for OL NL Games

[brianmarc]

As everyone knows, one of the appeals of OLP is that you can multitable. A related benefit that I have not seen discussed, however, is switching tables in order to reduce your stack size. The situation I am thinking of is you buy in for your standard amount, hit some big pots and suddenly have a huge stack. For whatever reason, you decide you don’t want to have this entire stack at risk. Now, if you leave the table you have to wait a half hour (at least on the site I play) in order to rejoin the table with a different stack size. My idea is that, given the many additional tables available, you simply leave the big-stack table and start again on a new table with your desired buy-in.

Am interested in thoughts on this. Please note, there are two separate considerations (both of which are fair game for this thread-but it would help if you bore these differences in mind): (a) assuming the stack-reduction strategy IS the desired one, what do you think; (b) Strategically, what are the consideration in wanting to avoid playing with too deep a stack?

you haven't seen it discussed before because anyone w/ half a brain can figure it out on their own.

obviously, playing a deep stack with a good TAG or LAG on your left who also has a deep stack is a nightmare scenario. You are looking to get out of this situation as quckly as possible. OLP affords you the luxury of cashing out and moving to another table, where live often does not.

What exactly does OLP stand for? I already do this, just cause I don't want to make a mistake deep stacked whilst multitabling.

The larger the edge you have on your opponents the more you want to play deep stacked. I would advise dropping limits if you aren't comfortable playing for 200-300bb.
