deep stacks

Deep stack is now the only type of poker i think i want to play. by deep i mean 200bb plus. It requires so much more skill and is less on how u run. Its much more fun playing 2/4 tables 250bb deep, its a totally different game to SnGs and tournaments. It is even totally different from 100bb poker. I have found myself with 24 suited on the button with a raiser and about 3 to 1, the raiser has 100bb and i think he isnt deep enough to make it +ev. The tables are still soft at the low levels, and it is really easy to pick up a fair few small pots as bigger stacks seem to make people real timid.
