Do you do stacks of 100? 200?

Do you do a single line of chips going towards the middle of the table, or a line along the rail?

Do you pyramid?

Personally, I do a single line of 100s going out from the rail. This forms a wall so I can peel off my cards with 1 hand.

I will do a 3/2/1 pyramid once i get to 600, then a 4/3/2/1 pyramid if I'm fortunate to get to over 1k.

It kind of tilts me a little when someone has:
A) stacks of 50
B) stacks of different heights

Stacks of 10 red chips per stack. And I always make sure to count out bets two chips ($10) at a time.

I like to leave one dirty stack in the front. It drives the nits at the table crazy.

I don't think I could make a stack of 100 chips. 200 sounds impossible. I usually just keep them in stacks of 20 chips.

5 chips high, but on their edges. I'm amazing. I can also lick my elbows.

I think he's talking about red chips. 20 chips = stack of $100.

Usually by passing them to the person who stacked me.

I stack my chips in different heights, usually about 30 chips, but I don't count them to see how much each stack is. I do this to tilt people (sorry nothing personal).

I usually push my chips into the middle then let another player stack them.

I keep the stacks short, because , most of the time , I don't have very many chips. I will constantly knock over stack any larger than 10 also.

LHE: 5 stacks of 20 chips to 10 stacks of 20 (triangle) to 10 stacks of 30 to 17-18 stacks of 30 and then I color up.

NL: stacks of 20 chips to 10 stacks (triangle) and then I color up.

In stacks of 20, like basically everyone. Messy stacks in others don't bother me.

Sometimes I'll dirty my own stack to put ME on tilt.

Buy in for 3 racks at LHE.
7 stacks of 40 chips arranged in a circle/hexagon, with the extra half-stack sitting on the right.
If I'm up a rack or more and in the main game (not the must-move), I switch to stacks of 50 chips.

Usually 30 - 40 chips high depending on the game, most of the time left to right. If/when I get to the 4th full stack of 40 of the lowest chip value ($5's and up, keep the singles for tips obvi), I'll usually start coloring up a stack of 40 chips at a time.

If I take a bad beat in a large pot, I'll usually knock all of my chips into just a big pile in front of me to give the image of being on tilt. Works surprisingly well into getting people to call or raise light.

Vertically.

I usually don't have enough to worry about how high to make the piles.

Random heights but always between ~20-60 reds high. I used to always be counting my chips and and keeping track of how ahead/behind I was (bad habit). This broke my habit. Also depends on the poker room and how good their chips stack

Stacks of 20, with partial stacks on top. I don't build a second level of stacks until I have a triangle of 10 stacks on the bottom. I'll make change for other players as needed but I don't ask for a color up unless it gets really ridiculous. What goes up must come down

If I am eating while playing, I'll make my stacks into a wall perpendicular to the rail. Then I can use one hand to eat and the other to check my cards and handle chips, and not worry about my neighbor seeing my cards when I check with one hand. After checking the cards I put them in front of my stack so they're not hidden.

I don't like having a tall stack because it's easy to knock over. And if it falls over, you may not get all your chips back.

I tend to do this, but I also sometime like to have my stacks all random. I call it the "city skyline" look, where it just looks like a city of random skyscrapers. This is especially fun if I am running hot and drinking, it's an easy way to look more drunk and sometimes get more action.
