This is why I tend to take the approach that I do. I dont sit down with the max buy in, nor the minimum, usually double the min or half the buy in. If I can project an image of weakness with that alone, good for me, I'll show my strength later, after I've doubled or tripled up. [/ QUOTE ] If you are a winning player, you should always be buying in for the max. Why would you want to limit the amount of money you could win when you hit your hand? The 5% doubt that you put in a few players minds as to whether or not are a good player, is not worth the $100 you miss out on when you are doubling up your half stack rather than if you had a full stack. When you've "doubled or tripled up" your half stack, you should be thinking to your self "I'd have twice as much money right now if I just bought in for the full amount". |

If I have a deep stack and there is an aggresive player on my left making life hell after I raise preflop becuase we have 200bb+ I leave. If Im that annoying guy on the left, ill stay and screw with the other big stacks. To me, stack size is only important in determining the tables im on if I cant get in a good seat.

Never thought of it like that either. |

![]() There's nothing worse than having two stacks that refuse to get more than 10 or 15 BB on my left. Just totally crimps my style, and throws my game off. I spend too much time being pissed at the shortstacks that I usually miss a good opportunity somewhere. |
