Most dealers I know would prefer that you stack these in units of 3-5, depending on what makes sense.

What if you're playing 4/8, 40/80 or 100/200...those cases preferred stacks are 2, 4 or 8.

Stacks of 4 are way better than either stacks of 2 or 8.

Concordantly, if you're playing 10/20, a turn bet can just be splashed as 4 chips, but if you raise you should stack them neatly in groups of 4.

It's just not-that-hard! If you're playing a 3-chip game, stack 'em in 3's. If you're playing a 4-chip game, stack 'em in 4's. If you're playing NL, the bet size determines the stacking size (e.g. $35 is 3+3+1, $75 is 5+5+5, $120 is 5+5+5+5+4). And yeah, if you feel like "splashing" do it with 5 chips or less and keep your splash away from the main pot. And to save what little is left of my hair, please when you go all-in with ~$300 of uncounted reds in front of you, do not just shove 'em forward into a giant pile.
