I am strictly talking about limit.
At the moment, I am sitting with 25BB. How much does everyone else sit with?

I usually sit with 50 BB.. just a psychological advantage imo

me too...about 25-50bb when I play LHE (which is seldom)
anything more would prolly be handicapping myself psychologically: i'd be tempted to play too loose with all that money

It doesn't matter so long as you have 12 BB to cap evey street, if necessary. Every once in a while that 1 in 10,000 hand comes along where you hit the nuts and a maniac wants to test you with second best. You want to be able to win the max when u flop the nuts.
But come to think of it, I don't think i've ever been in a hand where every street was capped except for one time in vegas at 2/4 in the Luxor. I lost. Had AA and 2 players ran me down to fill in their gutshot on the river. Isn't it a lovely game?

I sit with 45, just to be anal. I think anything less than 25 is stupid, and anything more than 50 is wasting your money. I like the idea of sitting with 50 because it does give you some mental advantage, at least I get mental advantage by having a decent stack.

I sit with about 20BB in a live game, and really think about re-buying any time I get close to 12 BB.
|

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

I thought we were taking a break? Now get back to your room and do some homework before I ground you!

Hehe, I can have a nice relaxing game for half an hour if I be a good boy and do my homework.
