This is why I tend to take the approach that I do. I dont sit down with the max buy in, nor the minimum, usually double the min or half the buy in. If I can project an image of weakness with that alone, good for me, I'll show my strength later, after I've doubled or tripled up.

If you are a winning player, you should always be buying in for the max. Why would you want to limit the amount of money you could win when you hit your hand?

The 5% doubt that you put in a few players minds as to whether or not are a good player, is not worth the $100 you miss out on when you are doubling up your half stack rather than if you had a full stack.

When you've "doubled or tripled up" your half stack, you should be thinking to your self "I'd have twice as much money right now if I just bought in for the full amount".

If I have a deep stack and there is an aggresive player on my left making life hell after I raise preflop becuase we have 200bb+ I leave. If Im that annoying guy on the left, ill stay and screw with the other big stacks. To me, stack size is only important in determining the tables im on if I cant get in a good seat.

I see your point. Never thought of it like that either.

There's nothing worse than having two stacks that refuse to get more than 10 or 15 BB on my left. Just totally crimps my style, and throws my game off. I spend too much time being pissed at the shortstacks that I usually miss a good opportunity somewhere.
