i've used a fairly deep half guard from day dot not knowing if that is a bad or good thing, but i have had pretty good success in getting under them and normally escaping out the back once i get their hips across me. I have always like playing the bottom and that's were i am comfortable, it really used to bug me when we would start from the knees and instead of the guy tackling me to the ground where i can pull guard, if they sat back so i was in their guard i would be at a loss...

That is why i am gonna concentrate on top game for a while.
