Message: [QUOTE="ph_il, post: 6755154, member: 508"] this is result oriented thinking and has nothing to do with stack sizes, except for the fact that bigger stacks are at less risk to bust compared to smaller stacks. just because you've won with bad hands as a big stack and lost with good hands as a short stack doesn't mean anything except equity and variance is a factor. plus, you probably don't even have a large enough sample size to make this argument and likely have selected memory when things did/didn't work out. all this does is set you up to make losing decisions in the long run because you're basing your decisions off of short results and not +ev long term value. run the 83 hand vs 4-5 all is, based on your preflop equity, over 1000+ sample size, and you'll see it's a long term losing play, even though it'll win a small percentage of the time.
