In poker, a stack refers to the total number of chips a player has in front of them at any given time. It represents how much money (or tournament chips) a player can bet, call, or raise during a hand.
Your stack size matters a lot—it affects your strategy, your bet sizing, and how you play against others. For example, a player with a short stack (very few chips) has fewer options and might be forced to go all-in, while a deep stack (a large pile of chips) allows for more creative and risky plays.
In tournaments, players often talk about stack size in big blinds (BBs), to keep things consistent as blind levels go up.
