But keep in mind that not everyone play the same game.
the thing is to do what the math of the game says is best which is independent of the players
mathematically, 100BBs is not an optimum stack size because the odds are going to play your hand for you on rivers, there just isn't that much of a skill edge because you usually can't call turns without being committed on rivers. This is why a 50BB stack is better because turns play themselves and you only have to play pre and flop before you can slam the money in. There isn't a way to get stacks in on the turn at 100BBs, and then when you get to the river the hand plays itself.
Consequently, I don't play any table where the min BI is 100. There isn't enough of an edge for a good player.
However, one game that I love that we play at home is mandatory 50BB BI. Then it's a cool all in fest for a little while and the fish can get lucky.
