Hey, been 24 tabling full ring cash games on stars for quite a few years now, always played 100bb and ***** hated the shortstacking scum up untill recently... Had a really bad 25NL zoom downswing (**** zoom) just as the same time I met some guy who played 40bb.. He showed me some of his graphs and **** and I noticed he never had any ***** downswings, just some small breakeven stretches.

So I thought **** it I'll try 40bb and had some immediate success...

Spoiler:


was my first 4 days short stacking mostly 25NL with some 16 and 10NL. Shortly after that my laptop broke and lost that HM database -.- I have played a lot since, mostly 40bb with some 100bb from time to time.

So yeh, I am making this thread because I need help. I don't want to play 40bb anymore, I feel like **** scum douchebag, I want to play 100bb again but I just seem to have so much better results playing 40bb. ;/ I need some motivation to play 100bb again ! I used to love the 100-250bb Deep tables! Please help me ! :<

40BB= win easy at the micros, but go small-even on higher stakes,
if you want to be a break-even or small winner player, keep 40BB, but if you want to be the best you can, have a shot at making millions, then the deeper you go the better,

it's a choice, you will win more by now but your game has a very shallow "skill cap", so your edge will be always small.

i'm a break-even/small winner playing deep on NL10, but i'm improving a lot and i know that i'll beat the higher stakes soon.

This is not a coincidence.

It's going to be next to impossible to inspire you to deviate from something that's been so successful. You can win more with a full stack, but it's a lot of work and a lot harder and your success won't be immediate.

It's not the stack size, it's most likely a huge difference in your playstyle (tighter and/or more aggro for instance).

It sounds more like you are not feeling good about your game and u try other stuff to win your share. I found myself in this alot when on a downswing. maybe im wring but watch some videos, post hands, maybe drop down a limit or do whatever it takes to get you back in a good mindset. Buy in for 100bbs then and win the spots where fish make big mistakes for deep stacks.
