[QUOTE="clover, post: 1527335, member: 65259"]
Since I play 1/2, the majority of people keep $100 stacks although I have seen a few players keep $50 and $25 stacks. I'm the type of player that keeps a $100 stack, and whatever I've profited regardless of if I'm leaving or not and I always know exactly how much money I'm playing with.

If I've been playing all day, and I decide to leave in the not too distant future, I will typically just leave with an even stack or around there. So if I have $235 for example, I might see what I can do with $35 dollars and walk away when it's gone. Although, I have no problem with delving into a $100 stack or more if the situation calls for it and if I win the pot, that's the perfect time to leave.

I agree that your play can become weak if you have anxiety on losing money, but I don't see this as requiring such an emotion. Organizing one's own chip stack, can also make them more conscientious about their game. A player can only call so many raises before they've run out of chips and I prefer playing smart poker as opposed to taking one too many risks and gambling my chip stack away. I guess it all comes down to what style of poker you prefer to play.
