This really is the key point, imo.

FWIW, I constantly play on a topped up ~almost 60bb stack at 1/3 NL (as I always make sure I start the hand with a $200 = 66bb stack). A $600 stack is not treated *remotely* the same as a $200 stack in any small capped BI game, and this notion of "bb"s is completely irrelevant, imo.

Do you cash out after you stack someone and come back to another table with a new short stack like the anonymous bots on ignition?

How deep will you continue to sit?

No, I mean I keep a minimum stack of $200 (topping off after every hand). I play to a pre-determined time regardless of what my stack is sitting at; if I'm uncomfortable at the current deep/difficult table then I just move to a shallower table (no ratholing).

ETA: Again, main point being that lots of people BI for $200 or $300 in our max-BI $400 game. To think that people are going to treat a $600 stack exactly the same as a $200 stack (which can be 3x their BI) just cuz someone has put $10 in the middle before the cards have been dealt is extremely misguided.

In his recent AQs thread, OP said that he was playing a 1/3 match-the-stack and several Vils were sitting 1.5k-5k deep. That isn’t similar to the type of game you play in. Who knows what this table is like, though.

OP could probably say how frequent straddles are at this table and what players typical opening size is.

Not that it would matter to this decision IMO.

I think it is quite obvious that OP GII versus this loose player and got shown the AA…otherwise, OP would not have made this thread.

There is a bias to threads on 2+2 that we only see coolers. If Hero GII versus QQ this thread would never have been made.

I did and yea I was shown aces which was a bummer cause I ran so bad that day haha but it is what it is. Stacks do fly at that table, people buy in anywhere from $100 to $2000. I don’t regret putting it in but it was the sigh damn this is aces I call moment.

Even ignoring the straddle and considering the hand plays 200 BB deep, I don't think it's a huge mistake to get it in against the described player. He does have QQ, AKs and sometimes a spazzy JJ that "just wants to win the pot now" at some frequency.
