At what point would stack sizes come into this?

Are we happy to keep shoving with 100bb but less so at 200bb?

I mean it all really depends, generally at lower limits its a bad idea to stack off pre with 200bb with AK but i know i'd do it against certain regs at 50$NL or fish maniacs. Your commitment threshold is going to change drasically if theres 60bb in the pot and you need to call 170bb on top then you are 70bb on top if your facing a shove(or to shove yourself). If your opponent doesn't overshove that involves a 5bet/6bet which is a narrow betting line for most players.

One of the big reasons that stacking off with AK pre @ 100bb is normal is by the time you have narrowed your opponents range to something like QQ+, AK theres been a couple raises and you are getting odds to call even though your getting it in behind their range. At 200bb that's all different you'll have more money left behind if you can narrow villains range that much then you can get away from it. So stack sizes are always really releveant I think most people that posted above are assuming 100bb stacks.

How about this situation then? Only 300 hands on Villain, no reads but he's in profit and hasn't done anything stupid that I've seen.
