re: Poker & Max Buy In or No?
in my opinion at a cash game no matter what stakes, its always good to observe the table to see how your possible opponents may be playing. if the table has a lot of loose short stacks i'd suggest bringing a max buy in to cover an all in bet if your opponents are sitting with 20BB-50BBs and wait for good spots, other whise 50-100 big blinds is usually fine, i normally buy in with 80BBs.
Edit, I usually buy in for 80BBs because i find that i tend to get more action when i don't buy in for max BBs because i tend to find people call off my big river bets etc when i'm shorter stacked then them, or are more likely too.
