The problem with having a healthy stack is the temptation to steal blinds to keep it healthy. You'd be better off just assuming that you have more time to wait for a quality hand than the others and refrain from being overly aggressive.

This is only true if you feel like you are going to loosen up too much. It is better to play the same than loosen too much. But better than both of those is to loosen a little bit [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Don't change your basic style of play. If you're a tight player, you might not be as good semi-loose. If you're a loose player, you're not going to be as good getting tight. Loosening up is good, if you can get away from a hand. The problem with getting a big stack is often you won't let go one you would have if you had a medium stack.
