We go deep and we don't get no sleep

Of late the cash game I play tend to get über deep late in the night, 300euro stacks+ in a game with 50c BB. So it got me thinking how deep people think is optimal. I know some cash gamers have said the deeper the better but this has to be within reason. I just can't see a HSP episode with Negranu stting with 1 million behind posting a $2 big blind working all that well.

So what do you like to play with?

As much of everyone elses money as possible. I am assuming you are talking about buyin though.

Usually I play Omaha (live) and at 1-1 I sit with 250-300. If I play the 1-2 Holdem (rare) I might sit with around 200-250.

Ok. Results are going to be skewed (thanks DeadParrot) a little bit as the smallest commnly available live game is a 1/2NLH game. Try to imagine there was a smaller game available which you could sit at too which you may perfer to sit with the same stack you normally play 1/2 at.

skewed...and about 100 bb is where I like

I like to have the table covered when I sit down...

When I'm playing 3/6 limit, I like to sit in with $1000 to cover the swings.

I like to crawl with about 40 times the bb

Had a look at 2/5 Omaha game in the fitz tonight. They all seem to have about 5000 euro stacks. Is 1000 BBs common. Surely they should play a bigger game?

How so, straddling?

Why increase the blinds? 1000 BB is fun. If people want to play a bigger game they will just raise more often preflop.

Ah, that makes some sense. I glanced over my shoulder at one point to see a 1500 euro heads up pot AI preflop which seemed quite alot for a 2/5 pot limit game.
Edit: do you mean raising the blinds or raising in the blind?

1000BBs sure is fun, RoundTower. What I'm really trying to work out with my questionaire was how deep will give a good player most edge. Perhaps the better players in that game would make more money if the blinds were bigger compared to their stack...

I think there is a comfort level to be thought of too.
If the chips meant nothing then I would want to play with as many as I could. However the chips do mean something and you also have to consider % of bankroll etc. I dont want to put all my bankroll down on a .1c/.2c regardless of what anyone says.

Also, are you talking NL or PL?
