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

I hate playing with less than 12 BB on the table. I tried buying in for two racks, but noticed it raised a few eyebrows at some of the casinos I play at. I felt like people identified me as a "serious" player. At those casinos, I buy in for one rack and buy another after I lose a pot. Buying one rack at a time doesn't get the same attention from the other players.

On the other hand, in other places where people like to throw around chips more buying for two racks is no big deal. At those, I'll usually buy in for 15-20 BB.

So, it all depends. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
