I just started playing ring games (with the free $15 at the gaming club, thanks for the link jmrogers)

Anyway i was wondering if people always had the most chips at the table they could.

I mean if you go to a table with $10 and lose some hands, how low do you go before you bring in some more chips, i can't see any advantage in playing with a short stack so i guess you buy in below $8 or so.
