| Did I read or hear somewhere that 20x the blind is a minimum for a wise buy in for limit games? (i.e. $8 big blinds should bring minimum of $160 to the table) | ||

| 20 times the big bet, not 20 times the big blind. I issue $200 at 5-10 or $400 at 10-20. A lot of players buy in for only $500 at the 20-40, but more for the convenience of buying one rack than anything...they then buy a second rack right away if they start to lose. The important thing is that your stack is big enough to cover any bet, as you never want to be all-in on that monster pot where you're holding the nuts and everybody is jamming it. I start to feel really uncomfortable if my stack drops below 10 big bets and always put more money on the table then. | ||

I start to feel really uncomfortable if my stack drops below 10 big bets I agree, stdioh. That sounds about right to me, too. I always like to have just a little more chips in front of me then my opponents have- not to look cheesy or anything, just to look like a winner!! Table image and chip image are important and I would definately not want to be all-in at any time! That old saying,"all in never loses" is a bunch of crap- have enough chips in front of you so you can cover the hand entirely...Don't miss out on maximizing your win,EVER!! 4 POKER > | ||

| Also, if your chips are getting low (relative to the pot sizes), put more $$ on the table even if you can't buy the chips right away. There is no worse feeling than having a cinch hand with no $$ to bet it. | ||
