When playing do you look at blinds or chip stack

[badbanking79]

When you are playing do you use blinds or chip stack, I personally like using blinds but its not possible on all platforms.

BB
Before live tournament I switched to chips for some time to get accustomed to counting the blinds and proper bet amounts.
But at the end - it's not the number of chips, but the number of blinds that counts, right?

I use chip stacks but blinds would work too but as you say not all sites have that option, would be cool if that setting was universal!

 

[tiptools]

I used to play with chips, lately I've been playing with big blinds, it's more convenient for me

 

[successlaw]

I usually play with Stack but sometimes I click to switch for seconds

 

[Mart1194]

When the amount is too high in chips, I prefer to change it to Blinds, it's easier LOL

But I also generally leave it in Chips to get my brain used to the BB count, especially for Live Poker.

Cash = $ Tourney's = BB's

 

[Berandir]

I prefer in blinds too! It's quieter to think about betting sizes!

 

[Dimidrol2]

I played with chips for a long time, but the blinds are really convenient. Not all rooms have this option, so it is better to play in two ways.

Many times I`m looking staks, but it`s a basic mistake.

I use both, my HUD is set to BBs and I have the site display chip stack.

I use big blinds until the FT or pre-FT. Then stacks can get to 5-12BB average and my instinct is to play push-fold. Which is not a thing apparently as it turns out a lot of times it's a pretty playable stack actually

I usually like to see the stacks I have without playing the blinds

 

[PokerEdge]

I always use the chip stack. I like to see the exact sizes, as I think you can often get extra information.

I generally use chip stack, but sometimes briefly click for BB and then another click back to chip stack.

 

[daibert murillo]

Well, in particular, depending on my position, I play with the stack of chips that I have, that is, if I have more chips on the table, I play with chips, and if I'm somewhat low, I play with the blind.

 

[722Wade722]

I use both, default I use stack but will toggle to BB as needed. Cash tables I always play $ stack and not BB.

 

[azforlife]

I switch back to stacks in real time from Big blinds view, because knowing how many BBs you have is key! but watching the chips makes it more realer for me

Why not on all platforms, on which they cannot be used? All the ones I know of can be used.

 

[hilary antonik filho]

To use both

 

[kitchy65]

You should train yourself to only use BB, unless playing for cash.

It changes your whole game and thus optimum strategy

 

[Gallarado777]

play with chips before when you didn't know how to play after I realized that playing with blinds is easier and more convenient, but sometimes the practice of playing with chips doesn't really make much difference how to play the main thing is how to understand

 

[MikeCarasone]

Both. I like to use blinds but often check the stack size to be certain im playing my stack ideally.

 

[a1232]

Does PokerStars have this option? I think blinds would be easier but I never even looked into whether that is easily changed.

BBS always a huge pain to calculate before lol
