Anyone here adjust their game speed relative to the stack size.
A 2X size to average stack allows you to put a lot of pressure on small stacks. With ICM advantage you can pick up a lot of pots with a 2-2.2bb raise preflop. You want each hand to go as fast as possible for more opportunities to take the blinds down.
A .7-1x. There isn’t any inherent advantages. Relative to game speed.
A. .5. and less average stack size. Playing each hand slow makes much more sense if you are in the money. You are sub 10bb and probably have 1 move. Going 3 orbits in record breaking 10 minutes or slow pace 30 minute pace nets you almost the same amount of hands. But one would give you 4-5 pay jump the other would be 1-2 pay jump.
