Party strategy vs. UB strategy
 

As a few of you've recommended, I've studied the FAQ and the various strategy posts and have learned a lot...

My first week of playing the 20s at both Party and UB have gone well....however, I notice I prefer a deeper stack to start with...800 at Party vs. 1500 at UB...I do better at UB...(this was the case when I played SNGs previously, as well).

I know the games are softer at Party, you can make more $/HR. blah blah blah...but I'm just better at deeper stack SNGs. Seems at Party, you lose one hand in the first few levels and you're scrambling. Plus, I don't like playing more than 3-4 tables at once.

So...after reading Strasser and Aleo and everyone else....what adjustments - if any - do you feel is appropriate for deep stack SNGs like those on UB?

More limping with specualtive hands preflop in the early levels? What else?

Thanks!

You just have more room to make moves in general.

You can bluff the flop and the turn without being all-in.

You can chase, say, an inside straight draw under certain circumstances because of higher implied odds.

Back when I played at Pokerroom, I'd LAG it up early, tighten down in the middle, then pushbot near the end. Seemed to work well.

Playing LAG early isn't a good idea. With blinds at 5/10 or 10/20, you're not going to be winning any substantial pots. You'll just be slowly burning chips away.

Unless you somehow accumulate chips because you know what you are doing. Just a thought.

When most of your opponents are willing to go to the felt with top pair (even though the blinds are only 10/20), you can take down huge early pots.
