Advantages of a Game with Large Stack of Casino Chips

Is there any psych advantage in a low limit game to having a large stack of chips?

Answer 1:

Yes, most agree that having a lot of chips gives an illusion of strength. It isn’t an illusion, however, if you know how to use the chips.

Answer 2:

I would agree that having a large stack can give the appearance of strength by making it look like you are piling up winnings or merely from the castle effect, of course a reduction in the large stack can lead to a belief that you are on tilt.  Some players also can start playing on short money, even if they are not if the stack begins to get low.

Answer 3:

i was just wondering, with the regular buy-in for a 7stud game being around $100-150 where i play, is it a psychological advantage to get a rack and a half of white($1), or better off mixing it up?
