In a limit game, does size matter?

In low-limit 1/2. I prefer to go in min. buy-in which is 20 dollars and I put 20 dollars underneath the chip stack in case I need it. I don't like to put in more as it just gives me more dept. With only 20 dollars I am force to play tight and aggressive the way I like to play. While about the big stack comment, well I notice alot of people tend to pay attention to the big stack more then any other. As it not like No-Limit in which I push my stack towards my advantage. I won't scare anyone out of calling me to the river in limit games. so, I am just adding extra attention towards myself.

Speaking about the pile of chips in front of you, that is!

ie. Regardless of whether you have been winning or losing, does simply having more $ sitting in front of you than your opponents help or hinder your confidence and/or your table image?

And so is there added value in bringing to the table, 2 typical buy-ins instead of one (for example)?

i missunderstood your topic, but the answer would have been "yes".

While you can effectively play a short-stack strategy in NL, I think buying in for 10BB in limit is sub-optimal, regardless of your playstyle.
