Default Re: is it rude to buy in for $300 in a 4-8 game?

Some people believe its not a very good idea to buy in for that much. Opinions please

Last time I played live, I did exactly this -- bought three racks of $1s. The number of comments I got was exceptional.

Of course, people sat down with piles of redbirds ($5s) and did not get any comment whatsoever. One person, thinking it was a no limit table, sat down with $300 in reds -- the max buy-in had he been at the right table -- and no one said a word. Another guy had a eight greens and two towers of red, and was met with silence.

If anything, you are better off doing what I did. People lose track of the value of the chips and instead consider the sheer volume.
