Do you keep the total chip count or change to # of Big Blinds

anadrijav · Aug 11, 2020

I keep the card counting and learn when I feel at an advantage.

Risto234 · Aug 11, 2020

Never changed to big blinds and i probably never do it either cause theres no need for this stupid change

fishfood80 · Aug 11, 2020

I find it much easier to keep it in bb’s. I mean live I’m keeping track of how many bigs I have and everyone else and this just simplifies the process. Number of bigs is all that really matters I mean 10 million chips sounds like a lot but if blinds are 5-10m your in trouble.

I have a habit of playing in BB mode for a long time and each increase in the blinds just multiplies them and I know how many chips I have.
The truth is that it gives me more confidence when making decisions.
It is always helpful to know your stack value at the right time

I've been using the BB feature, I've found it easier to think in BB's when betting since I started using it, I'm surprised so many are not using it.

TetraTap · Aug 11, 2020

I would say keeping it in BB is what you should get used to - since your strategy will most likely deviate in MTTs based on blinds and stage of the tournament.

Total chip count, always.

thehangdude · Aug 11, 2020

Normally I use chips, but occasionally I'll play a game that has hundreds of thousands of chips to start. At these times, I will switch to BB.

I discovered this option on ACR and I don’t get used to it, I prefer to play with chips.

Hello! I haven't won much yet, but now they are planning to "earn" on a new computer.

Total chip count. Been doing the number of bb calcs long enough that it is second nature.

Branimir84 · Aug 12, 2020

I prefer it to show total chip count, I suppose as a matter of habit.

VivicvrMga · Aug 12, 2020

For me in big blinds

fernandovr · Sep 2, 2020

I prefer the chips view, I tried to play with BB view but I didn't like it.

fefibecerra · Sep 2, 2020

I keep switching back and forth. At the beginning of the tournament, I usee BB, but as I reach the later stages, I prefer chips.

ProfessorGrind · Sep 3, 2020

I'm a fan of the BB view. My hand ranges, shove, reshove, opens, effective stacks etc are all easier decisions if I know the BB's.

One thing to watch for however, is if you build up a big stack early, and I have punted bunch of BB's as I didn't have relative chip counts in mind.

Keith557444 · Sep 3, 2020

I seem to play better when i see it in bb rather than chips takes the nerves away seems when i see it in chips i tend to shy away from betting when i get low in chips but when I see bb I tend to play my game as the tourney progresses

Mityamoriss · Mar 26, 2021

I use the default chip view

Luvepoker · Mar 26, 2021

Oddly enough, I dont like the BB option. Its just seams wrong to me. We play poker with chips and I would rather have it that way.

We also play with Blinds and that is the way I usually set my display so I know when it is time to shove all-in or go home, even in a live game I try and stack my chips in multiples of blinds some times early on it could be stacks of 20 blinds and as they go up I will alter the stack size accordingly or drop the stacks down to 10 blinds or 5 blinds each stack, it also helps me to determine what an all-in from another player might cost me blind wise, I might call an all-in with any 2 cards if it only cost me a fraction of my stack, but if the call would put me under 10 BBs I would reconsider calling, and opt to fold depending on hand strength.
It does take a while to get used to, but find it beneficial to my game, as does playing with a 4 color deck , We all have our own way of playing, but trying new ways could improve your game, I know it has helped me.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

Understanding the relationship between BB and the progress of the game is very important, not doing this is the same as playing blind.

successlaw · Mar 26, 2021

I'm used to play with stack in chips.
I've tried sometimes with BB conversion but I don't like it

beatlebug · Mar 26, 2021

I prefer the chip count but at times I do change to the blind totals. It is nice to mix it up.

Chip count

BB is soooooo much easier....it's one less thing that you have to calculate on the fly. Easiest decision I've had playing.

Do you keep the total chip count or change to # of Big Blinds
