Any recommendations on when to quit when your ahead
i usually set a certain amount that im going to leave the table at. unless i feel there is real money to be made there. (ex. a bunch of donks)
I wouldn't do this. Almost all the books I have read have frowned upon this because it will affect your play. I am too lazy right now to open one of the books up and quote it but it is because if u set yourself a mark you might try to reach it too early or gamble to try to get to it. A low stop point is good but not a bad one.
I usually stop during a good session when i feel myself getting cocky. If I am running well but i feel myself become looser than i should I leave the session because I am on a high but a bad one cause I am playing lucky not skilled.
Last Night I actually stopped because my BR reached 333. and 3 is my favorite number and who can beat 3 3's. But I was close to stopping anyway because i was starting to justify playing hands like 9//K which is not part of my game. So I left YAY!!!
When you're ahead, take a sledgehammer to your computer.
Just doesn't appeal to me to quit when I am ahead, although, it is probably better to do so. But, how do you determine when you are ahead enough to quit? A time limit is very good, I have found. Usually, 2 - 3 hrs will be enough. Do not play when you are tired? Your concentration is low and you will not be at your best. Also, I have found not to try to play more than one game at a time is better.
Well, if you are playing a money table, and you are ahead, leave the table and bank, and come back and buy in with the original amount that you bought in with. Keep doing that and try not to lose... hehe... Anyway, I see people go to a table, triple their money, and instead of banking and coming back they end up losing everything..
