Default Preferred way to arrange one\'s chips

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.)

Are you the guy that had the big pile of chips that I made recount every single had he played - just to be a jerk - and take him off his game?

It was pretty funny actually - he refused to stack his chips at a NL ring game so no one could get a count on what he had... after being asked to stack them a few times, he limped in to me on the BB. I asked for a chip count. Then checked. I checked, the button minbet and I made him count again... before folding my J3o. Half the table was chuckling when I made him count again from the SB. He finally stacked them up.

It also speeds the game up a little bit because your opponent can get a good idea as to what your chip stack is. If you have them in stacks of 18 or something, it justs means you have to keep counting them everytime they want a count.

No higher than 20 in a stack. Tournament stacks are required to be in a max of 20's, non mixed, and highest denominations visible in the front of side by side or even on top of the smaller denoms.

Stacks of 20.
Pyramid. (Or whatever doesn't get in my way)
Any extra chips used to cover cards/shuffle/or stacked on top.
