| When to quit... I don't see many guides or strategies on this but to me it's probably one of the most important skills in poker. I played at the casinos for the first time a few weeks ago, went up 4 buy-ins after about 30 minutes, and told everyone I was done for the night. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. 2 people told me I was on a roll and needed to hang in there. The next night I came back and watched one guy go from losing 3 buyins, to being up 8 buyins, to losing 2 buyins again. As a rule of thumb, when is it a good time to take your winnings and leave? Any tips for walking away? Online I seem to always lose my winnings for the session, at the casino it's easier for me to get up and go. |

| re: When to quit... poker CHURCH, you also should try to remember that if you've won other people's money it might look rude to leave after only 30 minutes of play without (in their minds) having given them a chance of winning their losses back. Now I know you dont want them to win their money back either, but 30 mins with real people is short. I could see an hour long or 2 hour long session being a more reasonable time to quit, unless it is obvious to you that these people you are playing with wouldnt be offended of you leaving early after taking their money. (ive never played in a casino but yea...) |

| People usually quit while they are ahead, but to me its a good player who can stay and turn profit into a Bankroll or a tournament buy in.. I try to stay and I set a limit. Ex: started with 50$ cash game im now at 170$ I say well if i get to 135 I will go somewhere else and start with 50 again.. Idk this is just me |

| When I first saw the title, I thought it was a player wondering when he should give up the game of Poker I would never leave a game just because you got up x buyins. But, my suggestion would be, when you get to that level of winnings that you may consider it is time to leave (like OP did)--instead of leaving, set a small amount below the current level that you will leave if you lose some chips, but keep playing if you keep winning (u have 200 in chips 100 profit, set level at 175 chips). What I do is I constantly keep moving the level up that I will leave at as I keep winning (get to 300 chips reset level to 250). Once I cross the threashold I always leave--but I never leave more profit on the table. I do not mind taking a little less profit if I can have the potential to make a lot more profit. On the other hand, I don't have to worry about losing all my profit and being pissed off--like I did many times when I was younger. |

| re: When to quit... poker I would tend to play as long as I feel my EV is positive and I don't have a substantially better option in the form of a juicier table I can switch to. This might involve various factors and combinations of them. A couple of obvious ones are how well the current composition of the table suits me, and how well I'm able to concentrate at that time. |
