Proper amount of slack in a chain?

So I usually like my chain super tight, but lately have been realizing this might not be the best option. I noticed when I loosen it a bit though, there is play and I can feel it when I am trackstanding, and it kinda bothers me - almost as if there is a little bit of lag before the chain catches when I first start to pedal. You guys run your fixed gears with a bit of slack in the chain? Do you get used to the feeling of "play" in your chain?
