I'm going to assume no-limit. A full buy-in is 100BBs at most sites, yes. Most people recommend buying in full. There are specific advantages and disadvantages to buying in for less than a full stack. Some sites let you buy in for more than 100BBs, which makes things interesting.
I almost always buy in for 100BBs exactly. I'm just used to how the play goes when I have that much in my stack.
For more ... search for "short stack strategy" and also look up some of excession's old posts on why he usually buys in for about half a stack.Statistics: Posted by k3nt — Tue Oct 03, 2006 10:57 am
