Deep stack or short stack

sandeeppandekar · Jul 24, 2026

Would you rather play deep stack or short stack cash games?

well both is good. but for me is short stack better cause if i play deep stack my open range is widely - i often play pre flop. but when i play shortstack i become more tighter and start to play by the book

Definitely deep stack. I enjoy having more room to play after the flop and being able to make bigger, more interesting decisions. With deeper stacks, I feel like there’s more strategy involved and you can put more pressure on your opponents. Short-stack poker can be fun too, but it often feels too straightforward.

Short stake best for cash game

As an MTT player, I prefer playing short stacked because it is the format I study and understand the best. It allows me to apply my edge through solid push fold decisions and pressure in key tournament spots.

I prefer playing deep stack. I feel like it gives me more room to play my strategy and make decisions.

I would say that it is much better to have a large pile to avoid pressure from players with more cards, it also prevents you from playing anything because “there are few chips”, and you draw more when you have a good hand, at least that's what works for me

Deep stack works best for me
