    As far as how deep of stacks to play, it seems as though the chasers have the advantage the deeper our stacks, because with shallow stacks I'm limiting how much more he can stack off on me for when he hits his draw or gets lucky, ie: I'm putting him nearly all-in by the time the river card hits when I bet 3/4 pot every street on a 40bb shallow table (on which he will often be playing half the max as with regular tables, or 20bb). Am I wrong here? I do lose quite a bit more on 100bb tables due to this, so that's why I've mostly stuck to 40bb tables.

    um, it's ok to fold when a draw hits. it's ok to fold to resistance. you don't always have to value bet 3rd pair over multiple streets. post a few more hands

    buying in short to limit how much you lose MAKES SENSE, but why the hell are you playing a game that you know you can't beat in the first place? Are you a winning reg at 25nl and taking shots at 50nl?

    @ op, this is gold. If you haven't already beaten 5nl then move down for now
