Deep stack

Playing with stacks far larger than the standard buy-in relative to the blinds.

In depth

A deep stack in poker describes a situation where players' chip stacks are significantly larger than the standard buy-in relative to the blinds. This increased depth enables more complex postflop play, allowing for greater strategic flexibility and multi-street decision-making, as opposed to standard or short-stack scenarios where limited depth restricts available options.
