Using a big stack to gamble?

[Atropos]

Should you use a big stack to gamble with your extra chips OR
Should you use a big stack to wait for better stealing opportuinities?

[raptor517]

with a big stack you should take advantage of steal opportunities. i wouldnt call it gambling, i would call it taking the initiative in +ev situations. holla

"i would call it taking the initiative in +ev situations."

Isnt that what you should always do, regardless of stack size?

Concrete Example:

Blinds 25/50, Stack: 1800
1 Limper who got an average stack
You are on the button
Raise to 200 with any two?

Is this too simple or too hard?

[Voltron87]

don't ask vague questions like these, post specific hands.

No this is too annoying. Search the archives, check out stuff for yourself. Basically you are cluttering up the forum with questions that either can't be answered or would take forever to answer.

Searching the archives is quite difficult because 90% of the posts are "Should I push this" or "Should I call here" + there is so much of totally meaningless or wrong information out there too.

If it was the point of a forum that everybody should figure out everything for himself or that he should only ask questions like "What is 1+1" to get the answer "2" it would have no point at all.

I dont see how this can be answered correctly using only one word.
