I think i have asked this question already but i haven't received my answer.

When i play whether its single or multi-tabling, and lets say i buy in for the table max $10 and then earn $20 or $30, should i leave the table have a 5min break and rebuy for $10?

The problem with me is that i can play 10 tables at once, double or triple up on all of them and then loose the money... Is it good to leave the table after i double up? because im 100% sure if i stay ill loose the buy-in + what i earned.

Why do you think you loose it? I don't think its good to leave after doubling up. Mabey leave and buy back in for the 200 BB after cooling down.

i think its because after i do double up i play super tight and once i have good cards i feel like i can bully others and end up loosing usually by bad beats or as i said, i try to bully others and do not take them seriously and feel like im more powerful so i reraise them with nothing. Say if i played the NL10 (maximum buy in $10) and i stacked $25 i would feel like im able to do more than others and when they raise me i reraise or call and end up loosing either most or like 3-4$ from my stack.

Before i do double up i play really good and out of 10 tables i loose on 1 so 90% of the time i do double up or triple up

What's this obsession with leaving after you double up lol. Don't play any different to how you normally do and you'll be fine.

When you've experienced having quadrupled or more your original table buy-in a few times you'll stop spazzing out when you double up :)

It's pretty common to spew when we double up.. Almost as common as folks tilting after bad beats. If you're noticing it enough to post about the problem, I'd practice re-buying after a solid double up to minimize your loss. Eventually your game isn't going to be effected by any sudden change to your overall $ count at the tables. But if you're finding it hard to focus and play the way you normally do ..then backing out & re-buying couldn't hurt (IMO).

At stars, if you leave a table you have to buy back in with the amount you lest with IDK how long this is, but leaving to buy back in makes no sense unless you no longer are happy with your position.

I only leave a table if I start to tilt, which can happen if I double up and then get card dead, or end up with 2nd best a few times and start to donk my stack. If I have a table which is profitable, and I feel good about playing, I wont leave. Ma stack has nothing to do with if i stay or go.

I good mindset to get into is knowing that you are willing to buy in 3 times total. This should help with variance and get you in the right mindset to not play with scared money.

You really shouldn't be playing any different if you double up.

Actually, I didn't think about that when I suggested him to re-buy. Almost all sites require that you buy back in with the same amount, unless you've moved to another table. :banghead:

OP: Perhaps a break from the tables all together (5-10 minutes) might put things in better perspective when you return to them. But it's almost always profitable to stay at a successful table, and work past the common problems of tilt & spewing.

I hope it pans out good for you either way.

.

^^^makes sense to me IF you can work past above stated issues.

Yea, learning to shrug off the tilt is so important, but when you realize you are NOT shrugging it off, a break is a defo + ev move.
