That is really doubtful that you will hit something worthy at the flop a straight or maybe trips. However, you still have an excellent chance to hit a showing great promise draw a straight draw or a flush draw.

You can choose the table by the size of a stack, commonly all the players have approximately equal volumes of stacks. Texas Holdem games where the blinds are $0.25/0.50 commonly have the players whose stacks are about $10 - $20.
Lots of casinos resort to providing some regulatory rules and limit the buy-ins to the certain quantity, so people have to play with medium or small stacks. Nevertheless, there are some real world casinos that don't restrict the buy-ins, so gamblers with 200 big blind stacks and more are usual.
