This is the kind of ridiculous crap that makes me glad online is capped buyin at 100bb. I don't want to flop top full and have to be worried about what to do when faced with a turn 4-bet. I mean, seriously, how the heck do you guys play 700bb deep? It doesn't even seem like the same game.

Thinking about it from OP's position, it sucks. Second nuts facing a huge decision, but conversely think about having the dead nuts and your opponent holding a huge hand that he doesnt want to lay down and having 700 BB's to start the hand. Playing that deep at Bellagio definitely favors aggressive players, and what I've noticed at the B is when the 10/20 is playing ultra deep, say, 3 or 4 players over $10,000, there's inevitably someone at the table who is way out of his league sitting with that much behind because he thinks he needs to be able to play a big pot in case.

I've never been this deep in NLHE, but I've been almost 700 BB's behind in PLO, and that game was sick with two blinds and at least one straddle. It's fun. Try it.
