At the beginning of the game, I always take the minimum allowed stack. The short stack game is the simplest, since you do not have to make complex decisions, and even if you make a mistake, or your opponent has the best combination, you will not pay him much. Personally, I prefer to play with a short stack, although I know people who like to be the chip leaders at the table since the beginning of the game, they are so comfortable.
