troutsmart 0 Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 I keep my stacks in groups of 20s, and can sometimes be overly preoccupied in keeping them orderly. This organized manner reflects my naturly conservative or tight nature.It should be noted that I may not be percieved as being a conservative player by many on my tables. I raise with a variety of hands, and am very aggresive preflop, seeing a lot of flops. However, once the flop comes down, I play a very conservative and tight-aggressive game. Thus, though I may appear maniacal by a new player, my style actually is reflected in neat and orderly stacks in front of me.Howard Lederer keeps his stacks is huge rising towers. I think the stacks reflect his play from what info I've gathered. They are impossing, as he can be. They are organized, as he can be. They are unconventional, as he can be. And if they get bumped wrong, they may tilt and topple, as he...well, that may be going too far. Link to post Share on other sites

You have the right to ask how many chips he has at anytime. So everytime you're in a hand with him from now on ask him what he has. He'll have to count. Then tell him if he kept them organized you wouldn't have to ask. He'll either count everytime you ask him or he'll give in and stack them neatly. Either way you'll have the edge.

TheDiscipleUA 0 Posted April 3, 2005 Share Posted April 3, 2005 Well, that is a good question. In cash games in which I would like to appear agressive so I can bet for value when I hit great flops, I like to stack my chips up slightly unorganized. But in bigger games where I would like to have the persona as a player who only plays with the goods, I tend to stack my chips up neatly and while keeping the higher valued chips out of view.
