Re: Cash Game Tips
[ QUOTE ]
A few points:
1. Being the big stack is nowhere near as important as in Tournament play. You can't bully someone with your stack as they can always buy-in again. The only advanatage is a phsycological one - people think that if you have a big stack you must be a good player.
2. There is no point going all-in with a mediocre hand when short on chips. There is no such thing as a "do or die" situation in cash play.
3. Most people (me included) don't like to let their stack dwindle too much. I generally top-up when I get below 80% of the max buy-in. Pity to lose the chance for a big payoff when you get all-in.
4. You MUST be willing to put your stack at risk more often. That is the only way to make money.

I agree with all of this except for 4.
You put your chips at risk far more often in tourney's than cash game.
