When sizing raises with deep stacks in Texas Holdem, it is crucial to think about how big you want the eventual pot to be. That’s not so important when you have a short stack. With a short stack, you generally raise preflop with one of two outcomes in mind:

1. Stealing the blinds and antes

2. Finding someone willing to gamble with you for all your chips

In other words, there’s little subtlety to short stack raising. By putting any raise in, essentially you’re saying, "Anyone want to play with me for everything?" You might be bluffing, and you might abandon ship with a decent hand if someone comes over the top, but you aren’t looking to "see the flop and go from there."

So raise sizing is generally simpler too. There are only a few important concepts.
