When playing cash games, I find it considerably more reliable and safe to "bank" my winnings when I'm up. In other words, when I earn about 150 - 200% of my buy-in, I like to leave that table and join another with the same buy-in therefore putting some winnings to one side.
I know this can come across as daft to some people but I only do it when I feel fairly well matched against my opponents, or when I got very lucky and profited off it well. Needless to say, if I had won those chips from a table of fish I wouldn't be going anywhere. I just find it's a pretty safe way to ensure I don't lose too much, too quickly. Having said this, from what I understand a lot of players like to "bully" with lots of chips, but I just don't find that very effective. Opponents tend to loosen up when I enter more pots and try to steal. Often I just end up at square one.
Let me know your thoughts and/or if this is already a well documented idea in poker, or if it is completely non-sensical.
