In short stack STT you don't need to protect your hand as much as extract value with it. This concept is much more applicable IMO to other structures of poker.

I don't agree.

Yeah, you're right......it's a very secondary or tertiary concept to what is really guiding your decision in other structures of poker too.

To be a little more precise, I think protecting your hand generally is more important in STTs than in ring games. I think that that is a consequence of each additional chip being worth less than the previous.

Whether that means protecting your hand is *very* important or not depends on what the definition of "is" is, er, I mean "very" is.

I've got to go collecting pine cones. I want you all to hash this out while I'm gone. Thank you.
