Preferred way to arrange one's chips

[Jack Bando]

Just wondering what is a good way to stack chips in both cash games and tourneys. By that I mean if I have 1000T chips, what is a good way of organizing them? 5 equal stacks, 10BB a stack, 10 chips a stack, etc...

I always end up having weird stacks of 5-10 chips a stack, so I never know my exact amount, which is not a good thing. (In a limit cash game, that wouldn't be too bad. But in a tourney, that's could cost me.)
