Huh, where?

I don't see how this is an advantage, to learn to play tough situations as part of being deep.

This post is just another repeat of saying nothing about these "other" advantages.

Isn't this just that one thing you have been repeating, what about the others?

When you are balancing a wide range, your bets become smaller. I don't open large: 3 - 5bb. I don't cbet large: 5 - 8bb. I don't double barrel large: 10 - 20bb.
So in the end, I don't really need a big stack by turn or river. Plus when I am left with 50bb by turn, the threat of me shoving the rest in the pot is perceivably greater than when I have 150bb behind.

Nope, just me. I am a very good player.
