Default Deep Stacked Table w/Restricted Buy-In

How do you deal with entering a restricted buy-in game that's been going for a while and the average stack is 3-6 times the buy-in? Do you just wait to find a table with more reasonable stack sizes or should you just get in. I'm finding that when you're that behind going in, you don't really have a lot of room to play. Your raises and re-raises don't mean too much and it becomes far easier to get sucked out on.

This isn't a tournament. Stack size should not be of concern during a cash game because you can reload at anytime. Just play your game. Dont bluff calling stations, value bet against loose players. It doesn't get much harder than this. Just because they have chips, doesn't mean they are going to call you down every time. And if they do, play good cards, simple as that.

In a ring game the size of the other stacks is really only relevant if they're smaller than yours.

Play, get deep, enjoy

I agree to some extent with the other responces. Just play your game and don't be intimidated by the big stacks. Play quality cards and let them double you up.

The part where he said the stack sizes dont matter since you can always rebuy.

When you re-buy, you still have the same or worse (now that the table has your chips) relative stack size in relation to the rest of the table, so you still have the same dilema. How many re-buys are generally the rule?
