I play on micro limits, what is your entrance fee for table games? Are you starting with a minimum or a maximum stack?

Thank you for putting this matter. I have no idea about entrance fee, but certainly other players would help you out.
Now, if you are asking about stacks, for cash games , in pokerstars we can enter the table with minimum of 40 blinds and maximum 100 blinds.
I’m always starting with a 100 blinds effective stack for I play deep stack strategy. Plus, I put it to auto top up chips when they get less than a 100 BB.

I always wait for the big blind (unless of course I understand the question correctly)

I prefer to start with the maximum entrance stack. It is an advantage among the players. If you enter with a micro price, you are vulnerable to the other stacks.

Don't buy in short stacked.

If you're playing cash games your goal is to maximize the amount you can win with your good hands. If you have a spot where you have AA vs KK you want to get the full stack, If you don't feel comfortable buying in for the full 100BB it's a sign the stakes your playing is too high.

One exception to this would be when you become a very skilled player you can buy in with a shorter stack (after you've done lots of studying for short stack play) This is because you will be able to put other players in difficult spots where they are unfamiliar with the proper plays vs a smaller stack. But until you have a very strong understanding of poker theory you're not going to understand how to make the most of this advantage and wield it against others
