One of the key aspects of becoming a winning poker player is knowing how to crush with a huge stack. Whether in cash games or poker tournaments, mastering how to navigate with a huge stack will add a massive amount to your hourly rate!
It doesn’t matter if you’re a poker beginner or an experienced professional — everyone will accumulate many enormous stacks during their poker journey. Whether it’s in tournaments or cash games, Jonathan Little, with his decades of experience, will delve into the similarities and differences of playing with a huge stack.
When you have a huge stack, it’s important to understand that your poker strategy should change depending on the stage of the tournament. In the early stages, you can use a big stack to see more flops and play in position. Whereas in the later stages, there will be a lot more Independent Chip Model (ICM) pressure. On the bubble you can use a big stack to bully opponents who are scared to bust. On a final table you can also use it to exploit a lot of medium stacks as the majority of those players will be looking to ladder up the pay jumps by waiting for the shorter stacks to bust.
In cash games, you can’t apply ICM pressure to your opponents. Instead, having a huge stack means you need to focus on playing solid deep-stacked poker and understanding the importance of implied odds and reverse implied odds, which has some similarities to having a huge stack in the early stages of poker tournaments.
