LoLz, as opposed to dumping 100+BB to a cooler?
MmmMm....touche (generally)

But in mike's plan, 20BBs deep has the same bankroll implications as 100BBs deep since he's planning on buying in for $2 regardless of what limit he's playing at.

So where he could get away from a strong pair 100BBs deep, only losing maybe 20-40BBs (less than a buck at 2NL), he's now pushing the entire $2 in when short at 10NL.

I imagine playing 20BBs deep at 2NL would be less variance than 100BB deep at 2NL for a player with mediocre postflop skills (like me), but I don't really know.

You the half-stack expert aintcha?
