Playing with chips in BB

Risto234 · Jul 9, 2022

Never even use big blinds so luckily dont care ?!?

might work for me too? got to get used to it

I'm a tournament player and I don't care for it because I've played poker for nearly three score years now, and I've always done my computations with dollars. I don't see any benefit in switching to something that I won't even be able to use when I play live tournaments. Sometime in the past at America's Cardroom all of a sudden my stack turned to big blinds. I even complained about it and found out it was because I'd clicked on the box with the value of the stack in it. LOL!!

I have noticed this new option that instead of the amount of money you see how many big blinds instead I like it for tournament but not for cash games.what’s you guys opinion on that????

I don't much care for it. I can roughly calculate how many BB various stack sizes are and I like to see how the next blind increase will relate to stacks, rather than concentrate solely on the current blind level.

Calculating your bets in Big Blinds is an essential element of poker.

Always use the BB option 👍

I don't use this option, it's useless for me, you can find out how much bb I have by looking at the size of my stack and the blinds, it's not difficult

I started off with chips. Then I realized how much easier it was especially in the late stages of the game, when the stack is in the blinds. After a couple of days I got used to
I only play BB now.

I play with BB. It is easy to make calculations. If i will play also live i will use chips in online too to get use to convert chips into bb.

ikescherer · Jul 11, 2022

Blinds, because all the decisions and commitement are relative to the blind size. I improved a lot when changed 100% to blinds.

Even though i like to see my million chips.

Previously, about half a year ago, I played with chips, but then I realized that with chips you do not objectively evaluate your stack. Now all the time in bb

Hey guys,
Any of you tried playing with the amount of chips displayed in BBs ?
I did lately and found it very interesting. Betting, calling or raising using amounts of BBs actually made me look at the game from a different perspective.
If you have tried it, I'd like some insight about it. Thank you.

I love the blinds for tournament not cash games.

I'm a chips man. If i mess about with the setting and start changing things, it affects my concentration. So i keep it to what I'm used to..

Phyrrura · Jul 11, 2022

Blinds >> Chips. I was astonished when I discored that I could change that. I prefer blinds cause I find it much more useful, mainly for multitabling, cause u don't get confused by the always changing blind levels. It's a little hard in the beggining, because it seems like your chips is running away and u dont know where to, but as u get used to it, it's very useful.

If you play with the BB it is very good to know how many blinds you have. But playing with chip amounts is much better because it speeds up your mind to count them when you play at live tables. I recommend that you try to take out your BBs mentally that will be very good for your future.

Beginners are advised to play with the chip display format in BB for a correct understanding of the size of raises, re-raises, and so on.

arshuns · Jul 11, 2022

The number of BB determines the tactics of the game in the later stages. Therefore, it is good to see this information at these stages.

Using this since it was added.

Most of the time playing poker at the tables I prefer to play with BBs because in the end they are excellent ways to raise considering that there are not 1000 chips but 1BBs that you don't lose concentration in the tournament without needing to carry large numbers in the stack

korbal29 · Jul 11, 2022

I never use it but I can sense that I lose a big chunk of my buyin just in blinds

wavetune · Jul 11, 2022

well, the first case is understandable, in the second, how could I have played better, I can't imagine, a stubborn player with his A 10 decided to go to the end, there's nothing to be done about it

testing826 · Jul 17, 2022

i should try that alright

tomk7788 · Jul 18, 2022

BBs are pretty standard for online poker.

ikescherer · Jul 18, 2022

The bad thing about BB is that every time the blinds raise you get poorer.

Academico · Jul 19, 2022

I always played with the amount of chips and I still can't get used to playing with BB at times I change it from one to another to get used to it little by little. I saw streaming of different elite players who use BB so I guess at some point it may be better for the game, but I still can't figure it out
