Hi.
It depends on your position at the table and your pocket cards. If you have no experience you need to start with freerolls. This will allow you to gain the necessary knowledge and experience without risking your own money. Also, please take a look at our free course that will help you improve your skills.

No experience in Live cash games, i played online and live tournaments. But i just want to no how much you people are taking as a stake in Live Cash Games with these Blinds.

It depends. If you are nit it is reasonable to play with small stack(50bb or less) because live low stakes cash games are very loose and it is possible to win some money using tight preflop strategy and playing "ABC poker" postflop.

The deeper the stacks, the more skill matters.

If you have skill advantage playing with deep stack will bring you more money

Hi.
If you are a beginner and have no experience, I do not recommend you to start with cash games. Try freerolls to start
Good luck.

I never said that i have no experience. I played online poker and live tournaments. Just almost no live cash games experience. (There are no freerolls in live cash games.) My question was how much stake you take there at which blinds/buy ins !!!!!

I think you need 50bb to feel good

Hi, I would recomand to always sitdown with 100bb, to feel confortable and play without pressure. If you buy-in for less, the sharks at the table will put much pressure on you. There are some spot that you will take if you are deep stacked and won't take them when you are short stacked.
Also don't risk what you can't afford to lose. GL

I'm always the person with a full stack



Until I start playing.

But seriously, 100bbs is the standard. If you are not entirely comfortable then 50bbs is probably best.

I disagree with this thinking.
Imo there is less pressure with a smaller stack as you have less to lose! Saying that, I always 100bb and have top up activated online.
