I play 1-3 with a 100 min buy in and 300 max buy in. If you were playing this game what would be your buy in and why? Also if you play other stakes tell what you buy in for and why you buy in for that amount.

So I understand the draw of having as much money as possible on the table... you can stack someone and make max profit... you have a different image to some, maybe as a winning player.... your stack size has some affect on how players play their hand against you, but their are downsides as well. During coolers you lose an entire buy in rather than a smaller amount, Some players play a bit more loose passive with extra bb. This could make it easier to punt off chips or play speculative hands. I'm curious to know why you like having as much money on the table as possible.

General rule of thumb is to buy in at max or close to max buy in. The reason for this is to give yourself the best chance to make money. If you bought in for $100(instead of the max) and have a hand where you end up doubling up you lose out on potential ROI.

I understand the cooler side but if you are a profitable/quality player the lost profit is going to outweigh the coolers in the long run. If you are a more casual player who doesn't profit often then buying in short may be a better idea

Same thing can be said for if you have a cooler. If you buy in for 100 and get stacked only lose 100 vs. 300. I am not disagreeing with what you are saying just offering different perspectives for conversation

Like I mentioned in the text you quoted, if you are a profitable player the lost profit from buying in short will more then cover your coolers...
