I understand this completely, but it has me wondering: At level 4, in the general Pushbot-style play (at PP), if your stack is around 1250-1800, you're ahead of average, maybe even chipleader, but not yet at a position of dominance. GIVEN that you believe yourself the better player at the table, is it worth it to put Gigabet's Stack Size theory into play?

Your advantage around the bubble should be much greater than Gig's advantage in his games on the bubble. The way to exploit this is to take the many, many +EV situations that you're presented, not take a -EV one in search of artificially creating +EV situations down the line.

For the most part, Gig's opponents (215s, step 5s, etc.) play a solid, aggressive bubble where getting a large stack is very important. In the 8k chip games, this simply isn't the case. With a decent understanding of all-in prices and SNGPT, you'll already have the advantage over them, no matter what your stack is.
