The Biggest No-Limit Hold'Em Myth by Ed Miller in CardPlayer Magazine

Ed Miller has an article in this issue of CardPlayer magazine.

It's not on their website yet, but the print version is available for free in most casinos. When the web version is available, Ed Miller's author biography and list of articles will be here.

The article is called The Biggest No-Limit Hold'Em Myth and it's on page 68-69. Here's an excerpt:

"Strategically, it's completely irrelevant that you have a big stack and I have a small one. If you try to 'bully' me by raising a lot with weak hands I can punish you by reraising more often with better hands."
and
"If you're the one with the big stack, you don't have a mathematical advantage, but you may have a psychological one."
He finishes up by saying,
"Go ahead and buy in for whatever you desire. Those sharks with deep stacks aren't going to get the best of you. In fact, you may well be getting the best of the sharks, because while it's not true that big stacks have an inherent advantage over short stacks, the opposite sometimes is true!"
