Even deep stacked?

Depends, of course. 100bb deep, yes. Which is something I should probably say - the guide was written for 100bb effective stacks. Don't play deeper very often at 10nl, so any situation deeper than 125bb or so would require some thought.

Semi-bluffs, if you want to think of these big draws that way, are even MORE effective (and have more fold equity) when there's a good bit behind. So I would fire a PSB without blinking with 200bb effective stacks.

Of course, every action requires thinking: reads, stacks sizes, board texture, who's left to act, how many left to act. But a PSB against 1 villain gives you 2 to 1 pot odds WHEN YOU'RE CALLED. If you have 9 outs, you've got a 36% chance of making the flush by the river. Every additional call gives you better pot odds, and doesn't generally decrease your chance of winning the hand much.
