Basically just playing a higher than usual stakes game at my mates house on friday night. Structure is like an SnG in that we play till one guy has all the chips but you can buy back in as much as you want. However, seeing as we are playing with more money we thought we'd have a longer than usual session and play deepstacked. The buy-in will get you 200BBs and I've never played like that before. The rest of the players are fairly loose. They tend to call pre-flop with a lot of hands but are good players once the flop has been dealt.

Should I be calling and seeing a lot of flops with so much money to play with? Should I be flat calling more where I would have raised pre-flop with hands or should I put pressure on the other players with larger raises? Do I want to be more loose as far as calling on draws are concerned?

I'm basically asking for advice for the whole game tbh because I usually play with 50BBs which is obviously less than the norm so it is a fair jump and I want to know what I am doing.

Thanks for any help in advance.

I'm a bit confused, is this a cash game where you play until one person has all the chips. That's what it sounds like and it's pretty odd I've got to say because without escalating blinds and with rebuys/reloads this might never end!

Playing deep stacked you can afford to play more hands in position. If there's a few limpers and you're in late position, don't be afraid to come in with a hand like 79. The key is position though and this can't be stressed enough.

Raise with the same hands you normally would, no need to limp because you have more chips. As for raising larger, this is situational. Just sit and observe to begin with to see what sized raises are working. You probably will find you will have to raise larger but wait and see.

As for calling on draws, I strongly suggest you do some reading up on implied odds. Playing deep stacked can allow you to call without quite having the correct odds because you may be able to get paid off enough to compensate for incorrect pot odds. If you don't understand the concept even after reading about it then stick to basic pot odds for your decisions.

yes, you should be playing a lot more speculative type hands such as pocket pairs and suited connectors... cards that will take down a big pot. we want to do that since we have a lot more money behind to work with and take down a big pot.

also, make very sure that you turn on the aggression in position. OOP play can be very hard deepstacked.

Thanks for the replies to both of you and yes, the blinds do esculate, otherwise it would simply be a matter of who can stay awake the longest.

First time i played a home poker game we did this, it was like 6 of us and it took 5 hours, funnest poker game ever.
