What’s your plan for the early stages of a deep-stack?

At the recent Manchester GUKPT leg (that Marc won) there were players opening for 300 at 25/50. That’s double the standard raise of three times the big blind! That can be common though, so the way to approach a table like that is to be patient and take a backseat. There’s no point in being ultra-aggressive, it’s more about steady accumulation.

To do this, I like to call with lots of hands in position during the first two levels; this allows me to see lots of flops in position. If, at the end of level two, I’ve increased my stack from 10,000 to 12,000 I’m very happy.
