In general Deep stack poker is defined as when the stacks are relatively deep when compared to the blinds. I personally would consider that 200 BBs or more is playing with a deep-stack. In general, my games buy-in will range between 80 BBs - 250 BBs Deep stack games are not easy to find in a home game and at the local casinos, deep-stack games are generally fairly high stakes. CA card rooms drop $5 every hand, roughly $150/hr. The vast majority of players in those clubs can't beat that rake. Eve …

Playing Indie RPGs where joint story telling and role playing is the key, instead of GM-run hack-and-slash. Could be a game of Microscope where anything goes (from epic space opera to World War 2 drama to fantastic) and the focus shifts to points of interest, or perhaps a game of Fiasco where the fun is in watching the story unfold in unexpected ways. Imagination and communication is key!
