getting used to playing with that size stack early on will definaltely help. gl.
Thanks for the heads up. I've been mainly switching back and forth to get a feel for a slightly different game (deepstack experience at a low level without risking big monies). I find the $5 BI is a good test because you'll end up playing against shorties under $1, $2 guys, $3 guys, $5, and then once your BI is above, someone up to $8. It really makes you fully aware of position and how your hand slection needs to change based on the players you will face IMO. For someone who is unaware of how deeper stacks tend to change the game dynamics it would for sure be very wise to BI for $2 as they might just spew hard with all those chips in behind. Between both levels I'm going to start going through hands and looking for trouble spots and begin posting HH's soon. Hopefully you guys will be able to advise in that department as well.
