300+ BB deep stack hand values

[jipster]

I've read that small pairs and suited connectors go down in value as ones stack is smaller (i.e. >40bb)due to the lack of implied odds....

My question is; as one beomes extremely deep stacked in a cash game; what hands go up and down in value....

My thinking is that all pairs go up in value; for set potential.... however; big pairs go down in value (because you are not going to be all in pre flop or on the flop) and the Big drawing hands go up in value....

conversely i imagine the small suited connectors go down in value

(my thinking here is if your up against good opponents; you aren't gonna stack them on a flushing board unless they too are flushing....?!?)

Anyone have any views on this pls?

thanks

Small pairs go down in value, big pairs stay the same. Draws to the nuts go up.

Well; i disagree....

my feeling is that small pairs are more playable because of the potential upswing when you hit a set...

The big pairs become less playable because of the stack sizes.... one pair isn't likely to be good with 600+ BB in the middle come the river! again set value tho...

I must add i'm not overly experienced or overly good with theory so you guys are more than welcome to explain why i am wrong!

Oh, I see what you've done. What you're saying is true for the difference between tournament stacks and small-to-normal cash game stacks. For really big stacks, small sets are in trouble.
