when the money is this deep in no limit, my best advice for someone looking for strategic help is to play quite tight, sticking to hands with huge implied odds. this basically amounts to pocket pairs, suited connectors and suited aces.

of course, huge implied odds can mean you should play loose too, but the problem is that it's hard for many people who are not used to these games to adjust and know when to turn a hand loose. if you are capable of this, then you can play a ton of hands profitably, perhaps 40%.

an important point is that hands like top pair can get you into so much trouble here that i would consider mucking AKo in this game, depending on how easy it was to read the other players. since they're capable of going all in on a ten high flush with four diamonds on board, i'm going to say they're not all that easy to read.
