Default how many chips to buy in for and reloading...???

sorry, this may seem like a rookie question (there are no dumb questions, only dumb people) but i'll fire it out anyway....

why would anyone buy in for less than the max number of chips? don't you want to have as much ammo as possible for when you hit a monster and get doubled up? (it doesn't seem right to buy in for half of the limit so that "you can't get hurt as bad when you lose"???)

likewise, when your stack is depleted say, 50% -ish, isn't is smart to re-load to the max? in my (admitedly) limited experience on party, i rarely see players do this. instead they stick around with their timy stack and desperately wait for a semi-decent hand to push it all in with (seems like a waste of time).

any input is welcome,
thanks!

Just search this forum for "stack sizes" and you should find more threads about this than you will want to read.
