This is a thread that needs to happen. Unfortunately, I'm at work right now and don't have time to make a detailed opening post. I will make two brief, straightforward claims.

1. A medium stack is large enough to cause damage to a typical large stack and effective medium stack play includes making plays that take advantage of this.

2. The most profitable steals/bluffs/resteals are those that threaten a large followup bet. Knowledge of opponent tendencies and your own betting patterns can allow you use a small piece of your stack to 'represent' that the rest of your stack is coming. The key to these bluffs is that most of the time you do follow up because most of the time you do have a hand.

If no one picks up the ball, I'll bump this with more detailed thoughts tonight.
