Hi all,
Thought a good 'concept' type thread might be a discussion of how we should incorporate villians stack size into hero's decision making. Its something I dont know much about and cant seem to find any useful info on.
Clearly its an issue for more speculative hands that require implied odds, such as pp's.
But in what other ways/situations should we be taking villians stack size into account?
I seem to recall a topic where someone said something like 'i had AA, made my standard 3xbb raise, and then noticed that both villian and I were 200bb's deep'. Whats the implication here?

Stack sizes are pretty important. If you have a good short-stack on your left, then he should be shoving over your opens fairly often. Because of this, you should tighten up your opening range. Opening hands that can't call a shorty shove over, when a shorty is likely to shove over, is pretty apparently bad.
Same goes with the value of hands as stack sizes change. Say we are on the BU and a villain in MP opens. he has 200bb, and we have him covered. Hands like suited connectors and small pps go up in value as they greatly rely on implied odds, and as stack sizes increase, so do implied odds. These type of hands make nut hands that we will be willing to play large pots with, such as sets, flushes, and straights.
When stack sizes are smaller, then hands like KJo go up in value, as the SPR is going to be smaller.
There are other things. Maybe I'll discuss those later.
