Default As the stacks get deeper, how should that affect your play?

I have been playing a lot of $1/2 NL in live games lately where the max buy in is $300 (like at the Trop AC). If I were playing at a game where players can buy in for much more than $300 and the average stacks are well over $1000, how should this affect my play?

I think it means you should look for big hands more often, and play top-pair/top-kicker type things much less aggressively.

It also means you can start making some powerful moves, designed to throw people off top-pair. Brunson was playing with deep stacks so the SS book is probably a good read for you.

Turn up the aggression factor a bit. Play position more. Don't sit down with a small enough stack that you feel intimidated.
