Hi!
I was playing at 5NL ZOOM (full ring). I have read at several websites, that deep ante cash games are very profitable, so I would like to try them out. Before I do, I would like to know what should I change about my play. I never played deep or ante cash games. I have played regular cash game tables, but no ante or deep. At ZOOM my stats are:
VPIP: 15
PFR: 12
3bet: 7
WTSD: 26
Agg: 2,5
What should I change about my strategy? What adjustments should I make? Thank you for your future answers.

I am not a deep stack players, but a couple of my opinions on the subject:
- SPRs are smaller, that means postflop is more important than preflop. That means better players have a big edge but it comes from skill rather than a simple, solid preflop strat.
- Because it's all about the postflop, position is key. Better skills + position = demolition. Without position, your skill edge is largely nullified.
- When you draw, draw to the nuts. Hands that are coolers at 100bb can be spew at 250bb.
