what's a "stack"

I've never played live.

I see people talking about how they did say they finished "up a stack" or "down a stack." What's a stack exactly? [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

In that context, to be precise, 20 chips. But it's rarely meant that precisely.

The next question is, what value chips? And that's entirely dependent on the game. Generally a stack would be 5-10 big bets.

And usually there are 5 stacks in a rack. A rack is 100 of whatever chip is commonly used in the game being described.
