Default Re: How many BB do you buy-in for at a Limit Table?

[ QUOTE ]
What is the proper amount? Or is there one? I always buy in for $50 at .5/1 and $100 at 1/2.

I also like $50 for .5/1. It usually makes you look like one of the bigger stacks, and can look intimidating. This was from a book I read that suggested you should always buy in twice what people normally do. People later on (when the table turns over) won't know whether you bought in high, or are just winning.

Actually, if I buy in for $50, and the table gets bad, when I sit at the next table, I like to buy in for exactly the amount I was at (ex. $47.50, $51.25) so I can see where I am on the session.
