Playing with chips in BB

[jrgum25]

I usually play with my chips converted to BB's in tournaments only. I feel like sometimes my decisions at the table depend on how many BB's I have left so I like this feature that most online cardrooms have.

I prefer Harrington's M number...it gives you the number of orbits you can play with the chips you have left.
the M number is the total of the BB, the SB and the the antes of the players at the table.Add that up and divide it into your stack and that is your M. So if, for example , the BB is 100, SB is 50, and 7 players payng a 10 ante, , the total is 220, so if you have say 2200 stack, you have a M of 10. That number dictates the changes in strategy you need to make as your M fluctuates with your play. It's all laid out nicely in his book Harrington on Holdem

Depend on what you have in the bb/sb lol

If just have 27o,of course chips is much better

I try to follow a strategy that is based on my stack size. So I have a hand group by stack size and by table position. I try to follow this line of reasoning when I'm playing. This is all taking into account what the effective stack is in a hand I'm involved in. So my setup is in big blinds to make my job easier during the poker session.

I prefer chips because I always play with chips, so, I think it's weird when I change to blinds.

Blinds - 100%

Once you’ve tried it there’s no turning back.

 

[Forkliftgu22]

Always chips the blinds are easy enough to work out.

I play always with chips. Since 2006. If I need to know how many BB I have, that is easy to do. There is no reason to change and play with BB.

I got used to playing using chips, so I always end up using this option.

 

[TeUnit]

I use them both, just wish ACR would include the antes in the BB calculation.

I'm probably a conservative on innovation in games. I'm used to playing with chips and that's how I continue. I don't even like the new table themes. My favorite classic table theme is gone.

What do you prefer?

I rather see chips.

 

[Alex70793]

As long as I play poker, from the very beginning, the stack is always visible only in chips, I calculate how much it will be in the blinds on my own during the game, it's easy)).

I prefer to see the number of my chips. You are more likely to pay attention to the growth of blinds and counting them. Mathematics allows you to stay in good shape. Sometimes I switch to the number of blinds if I play at several tables.

 

[antonis32123]

Blinds is better for me , thankfully nowadays most poker rooms show the blinds , but sometimes I switch to chips for some reasons ....

 

[ratbat615]

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????

 

[siberianspecial]

for those who use odds calculations, I believe it is better to use this possibility, it makes it easier!

 

[heguli82]

Its nice to have that option. Using big blinds in tournaments too.

 

[Gritz18]

I already use it in all the rooms I play for a long time, it makes the gameplay a lot easier.
