Using Your Stack
If you know how to effectively wield it, you can use it to keep piling chips on to your lead, but if you don’t know what to do with it, you’re going to lose it pretty quickly. Now, it can be easy to get overexcited when you have the big stack, but playing don’t go out playing every poker hand and trying to buy up every pot or you’ll end up losing your stack as soon as you get it. One of the best ways to utilize your big stack without giving your money away is to loosen up your poker online hand, if only a little bit.
It’s not a good idea to play every hand and pray for a big flop, but you do have a little more breathing room to play with. Hands like Ace-anything suited or high suited runners are all okay to play when you’ve got the big stack. Just make sure that you don’t commit too many chips until you’re hand hits the pot, and don’t fall in love with a hand that could easily be beaten. If you play a 10-9 of hearts and the flop comes out 10-King-5 with no hearts, don’t over commit your chips if someone starts betting like a maniac at Everest.
