"#3 pencils and quadrille pads."
- Seymoure Cray (1925-1996) when asked what CAD tools he used to design the Cray I supercomputer; he also recommended using the back side of the pages so that the grid lines were not so dominant.
"Interesting - I use a Mac to help me design the next Cray."
- Seymoure Cray (1925-1996) when he was told that Apple Inc. had recently bought a Cray supercomputer to help them design the next Mac.

If there is +EV in outplaying your opponent, it helps to have as many chips as possible, right?

But you have to factor in that folks are much happier to go to the wire with worse holdings for a half stack than a full stack. Quite regulalry I limp in EP with AK, see a couple of limpers and then someone raised behind - the pot might be 7-8BB's or so - I push and the LP guy calls with AT or AJ or something. I don't think he is calling off vs a push if I am full stacked.
I suppose the more you are inclined to be trappy, loose or bluff the better it is to be full stacked, but whilst I get reads and earn a nice tight image before I open up a bit 60% stacked is fine for me - each to their own I suppose.
