big table 50nl - deep and scared

ok, average stack 140bb
94-35 whale with 200bb - but not completely stupid. Floats, bluffs and stacks others... (edit. Now 300bb deep, after idiot tried to trap with rockets and 92 hit two pairs...)
couple of 12-3 fish with 200bb and 150bb respectively
Hero with 300bb, but I'm a little scared to tangle - example = I had AK with an AK267 board, too scared to push the river after I was re-raised by the whale - 80bb pot. Showed down vs A5s...

Thoughts? should I leave, cos I'm scared money this deep
playing six tables and tired, deep on two others...

you need to find ways to avoid spots that you feel uncomfortable with. If you are worried about a draw and you have a strong hand, bet big, but don't be afraid to fold when the draw hits and a big bet faces you.

If you have a strong hand but are not worried about drawing hands, I tend to slow down.

I have found that checking my turns has dramatically decreased the difficulty level on river decisions.

Thanks. This makes sense, another addition to my evolving game.

I stayed at the table until it just got silly - whale donated 300bb to the mix and it all got pretty aggro among the waiting crowd. When I left, average stack was even higher but the targets were less obviousl.

Don't play scared?

Pay a LOT more attention to position and don't get raped with hands that have a lot of "second best" potential.

Ciaffone has a great post about deep stack adjustments:
