35-50BB is normally where i start but it can depend as i will leave a cash table where i am a big stack, i dont like the way people come at you i think it takes away from your ability to bully them witch is always nice. Ha Ha Ha But i will also "on a whim" start with 20BB just to sit tight when im multi tabling ie 4 to 9 tables. SO i play with small or middle stack but never deep. not in cash games anyway

I prefer to play with middle stack. Thats the way i have of controlling my bankroll, wich, till now, it has never been quite high. But if i had a bigger bank, i would play bigger stacks, because there you will not find players kidding around, its the most looked alike with pro game.

Normally 100 BB, it depends on your skill level but I want to be able to capitalise as much as possible on other peoples mistakes and also learn deep stack strategy, I'm not saying I'm great at this level but I have missed so many great profits on great hands that I decided to change up my game from short stack on lots of tables to deep on 4-6...

for me the best poker i can develop is with a medium-large stac (between 75 and 100 BB) short stack is for people playing like robots and deep, for me, is impossible to deal with

generally medium, but i know thats it better to have the most blinds possible!!
And thing is that i dont play much cash games... usually i play them as SnG (its idiot i know, but its a reflex, cause im playing very much sng's), and say "all in" a bit to fast :s

Middle stack as its easy to win draws like flush straight draws or better when you push against top pair is a ev+ move. But you cant call with low pokect pair a raise of 1 player of 5bb.
Only a tip i think its right with middle stack strategy.

i like all strategies, but most over 60 BB, becouse with less than that u cant play as many hands as u want, unless u like many rebuys, somtimes with lower stack it is nessesery or u just get som chips u have started with, if u dont get rebuy

I always buy in with 20BB, and quit when $ run out or I decide to quit. I would like to quit when I have 30BB but as I play 8-10 tables, quitting table take much time ...

It depens on my strategy. But to play freely I need at least 50 big blinds. With deep stack you (at least I am) will sometimes play to loose. But 100BB is fine. Shortstack is not for me. It has nothing to do with real poker, not reading the board. If you see one, it is easy to read his cards.
