Do You Play Better When Your Screen Shows Chips or Big Blinds?

dariusgeorge · Jul 9, 2026

BBs definetly help asses stack sizes and position better but from time to time I play cash games in $$. I just like to see the $$signs there and observe how the pot goes down by a big bunch at the end of the hand due to rake

I do think that playing in big blinds helps you more to control your bet sizing. When I change the stake or play some different game than always is easy to take decisions if the stacks are in big blinds.

Doesn't make a difference for me. I use chips($$$) showing when I play cash and BB when I play MTT's.

Cheers!!!

Pros prefer blinds, but I prefer to see the chip count, it adds a little more of a feel to it like I'm at a real poker table.

It’s more convenient when the stack is displayed in big blinds, but I prefer seeing the chip count; since my stack won't be shown in big blinds when I play live tournaments, I view it as a form of practice.

I don't know how to play using chip counts on big blinds.

It should be big blinds, but I prefer chips.

BB, the day has come when there won't be chips even at live events.

I prefer big blinds. It helps me make better decisions without getting emotionally attached to the money or chip count.

I remember when in a tournament they showed how many BB I had. I panicked. Got confused. Had to sit out and go into system to change it to chips.
I prefer chips. The size of my stack (I play tournaments) is what's keeping me aware. Bigger stacks have to be protected. Specially when getting near the bubble. The short stack usually gets lucky.
I keep an eye on my chip stack and also my position in the tournament. Getting to the final table is the goal.
