Do you ever change your open sizes based on stack depth?

Something I’ve been thinking about is whether to adjust raise sizes depending on stack depth in tournaments. When stacks are deep, slightly bigger opens feel fine, but when stacks get shorter it feels like smaller sizing makes more sense.

I’m not always consistent with it though, and sometimes I just stick to one size.

Do you actively adjust your open sizes based on stack depth, or keep it simple with one standard size?

Yeah a lot of open raise strategies are based on your big blinds, your opponent’s big blinds, your position and your opponent’s player profile.

I do agree with this and I do some adjusting sometimes. But the problem is that I don't seem to be very consistent on it, so kind of have decided to give up on it.

I’m still adjusting to this, but I’ve noticed it does make a difference.
With deeper stacks, it feels better to open a bit larger to avoid too many multiway pots. With shorter stacks, opening smaller seems more efficient and helps avoid committing too much unnecessarily.
I don’t have a fixed pattern yet, but I’m starting to adjust more based on stack depth.
