Part of it is slightly tongue-in-cheek.
I likely don't completely suck at deepstack. However, (a) most posters here will say I do (that's fine), (b) I feel very uncomfortable at deepstack especially when compared to my wheelhouse of shortstack and (c) every OP who posts a deepstack question in this forum (and most of the people who respond to it) likely don't kick ass at deepstack nearly as much as they'd like to admit (there are probably exceptions, that's fine).
Overall, betting 101 that applies to all forms of gambling is really simple: attempt to make small wagers on so-so spots and attempt to make large wagers on surer things. In this spot, and a lot of the deepstack spots we've seen lately in this forum, we're OOP, deep, to the best player at the table. I'll let you decide in what category that should fall regarding betting 101.
But, I also tend to avoid deepstack poker because of my uncomfortableness with it; I play my own style within it, which I'm positive is EV, but I doubt it's nearly as EV as all the 10 bb/hr crushers we no doubt have in the form. So obviously feel free to ignore everything I say.
