only if you're WAY worse than everyone at the table,because even if you're about average vs/ the field/your table you can pick up chips easier with a big stack. not bad though you at least made me reconsider for a few secs
I might stall if I degen off my roll in the 5K FTOPS but anything below that my ego will refuse to let me believe I don't have an edge
