buy in for 50, any less is uncivilized.

Yeah, I thought this was standard protocol for 2+2ers. Furthermore, if you buy-in for 25 at 5/10 there's a good chance you're retarded.

I buy in for 25 at 5/10 and I'm not retarded.

I think there is value in it. What I used to do was sit alone at a table and buy in for likr $234.96. You end up with a bunch of people with $50 sitting down who really shouldn't be playing 5/10. If you sit with $500 I often find you are a lonely goose.

? This is the most retarded post I've read on here in a while. Perhaps a failed attempt at being funny.

I always buy in for 25 because I'm too lazy to type in new numbers, and there is zero significance to having 25 more bets in your stack. It's really easy to add chips if you drop 20 bets.

If you 8 table, I could maybe see an argument for time saving.

please explain why it matters wether you have 13BB or 1300BB in front of you at limit poker with a 4 bet cap on each street? I'm clearly retarded and don't understand the difference.

Oh, to OP:
what is the point of this poll? Variance happens? If you're not dropping 25BB at a single table from time to time you are one of the following:
a) the luckiest player on earth
b) moving tables a LOT
c) setting a stop loss which is (generally speaking) a bad idea
d) not playing your strong draws aggressively enough against weak opponents.

thanks

Just curious. Then I thought good poll question, other than that no real reason. By the way I go around 20 sessions between 25BB wins or losses. Most of my sessions are either small wins or small losses ~5 BB's.

i used to buy in for 50 bbs because it helped my tilt if I had to rebuy less often. then I started really really sucking, and found that dropping 50 bbs at a table made me tilt even harder. so now I buy in for 25 like a human.
