Buy into the 2/4 game with about 4 racks of white. Stacks of 20 into a pyramid.

Re: Best way to stack chips...
I've been tooling around with the idea of pyramiding with a 4 sided base instead of 3 sided.
I'm looking for something slightly out of the norm Melch |
Re: Best way to stack chips...
In a no limit game, don't stack. Just keep them all in a big, disorganized pile in front of you. When you want to raise, grab a handful and throw it out, saying, "How much is that?"
Yes, I'm kidding, but if they'd let you get away with that I bet it would be an effective way to fake being a maniac. |

Re: Best way to stack chips...
One really tall stack.
Then when you lose a pot swing at it as hard as you can and swear really loudly. Causing a scene is +EV |

Re: Best way to stack chips...
Just stack them in seemingly random piles, all of which get slightly larger as you move inwards. It makes you look messy and loose.

Re: Best way to stack chips...
lag pile.

Re: Best way to stack chips...
It doesnt matter that much, but....
for limit it doesnt matter for NL I dont make it easier for opponents to count me down I use stacks of between 30-50 chips For tournaments you have to make your chips easily countable so stacks of 20 are the best NEVER MAKE STACKS LESS THAN 20, sure sign you are a newbie |
Re: Best way to stack chips...
I start with stacks of 20, then as I win, I build to stacks of 40. I try to create a "wall" of chips in front of me. I might try this pyramid thing though..

...without looking like a moron or taking 5 minutes? Internet doesn' teach that. Thanks. [/ QUOTE ] In a NL, PL or spread limit game, most rooms will have a "requirement" that you stack you chips in a manner that other players can count visually how much you have. At lower limits this is rarely enforced, but the higher you go the more you will see it enforced. Most will not let you hide high value chips in the stacks either, but it is a good idea if you get up for a break. It is pretty easy for a 500, 1000, or 5000 chip to slip into someones pocket. In a limit game, it really doesn't matter, just do what you want without it slowing down the game. Some and I tend to agree feel that stacking your chips in a limit game in a manner that is not easily counted, especially by yourself, is a good thing. It can keep that ol' "I'm stuck and have to get it back" thought from creeping into your head, which is +EV. |

NEVER MAKE STACKS LESS THAN 20, sure sign you are a newbie [/ QUOTE ] I'm glad you think so. Are there many more like you? I usually make stacks of 10 or 15, since I'm a bit of a clutz and it's embarassing to knock over your stacks. |
Re: Best way to stack chips...
I used to do stacks of 20, but I tended to pay too much attention to how much up or down I was when I could easily count my stack (I play limit, so clean stacks are non-important).
Now, as soon as I sit down I stack my buyin into an odd number of stacks of some random height. After a while, I have no real idea of how much I have. At some point, out of boredom, I usually restack to "The Spiral". I have one tall stack in the center, then a spiral staircase of stacks around it, with the smallest in front and each stack an equal number of chips taller than the one before it. |
Re: Best way to stack chips...
Yes, anyone who stacks less than 20 immediately goes on my mental newbie/donk list depending on their play. It just looks so pathetic.

He would just randomly grab a some/all of a stack of some chips and say....this much! We'd be like...'you know thats X amount right?' 'it is? oh...' So we'd call and then he'd table the nuts. |
Re: Best way to stack chips...
Make the design of a smiley face and then start yelling "quit staring at me!" at your chip stack. Talk about getting some respect!
This works best if you order "A Warm Vodka with a raw egg in it" as your first drink. |

When I sit down, I (not always, but often) make about four unequal towers of chips. When I rake pots, I put chips in the various stacks until they get too tall, then I start another stack. Not knowing how much you have in front of you (if you're prone to this kind of "get it back" mentality) can help you play your hands without thinking about your money. I guess it's sort of like a live Tiltblocker. If I'm playing in a smaller game where losing a buyin or two won't mess up my mind, I just go ahead and use the standard pyramid of 20-chip stacks. |
Re: Best way to stack chips...
All right...chalk me up as impressed.
Normally I like stacks of 10-15 myself; I'm too clumsy to use stacks of 20s. |
Re: Best way to stack chips...
At the New Orleans 2005 WSOP $200 NL circuit event, early in the tournament I saw a guy at another table stacking his chips like this. He was pretty much taking up space from both people that were next to him. I thought this was so bad I had to take a cellphone photo of it. He didnt even get close to the final table.
