Leave the table or wait for the next BB?

[smuckenfart]

You're playing several cash tables online, you're doing pretty good on all of them and you're up. You decide it's time to quit for the time being... do you sit out and leave immediately after your current hand or do you wait and sit out next BB?

Wait and sit out the next BB,,,

I wait for all the free hands and jump out just before pay the big blind.

Usually wait until the next BB, but if I'm really tired I just sit out and quit to not take the risk of make a wrong play.

Historically, I've found I'm more likely to hit betting hole cards while waiting for the BB to roll around and end up losing money more often than I've hit and added to my winnings. Now, when I'm ready to leave if I decide to wait for the BB then I'll only play AA or KK... even AKs has failed me numerous times.

What about you guys? How often does waiting for the BB actually prove beneficial?

Definitely wait for the blinds. Posting a blind with a random hand is a losing proposition, so you dont want to do this more often, than you are obliged to. It might not sound like much, but if you give up a few BBs every session by either posting or leaving prematurely, it adds up in the long run. The only time, I would not wait, is, if I am quitting because of serious tilt, or if I urgently need to go to the bathroom

Always wait for the next BB.

I will wait for the BB. I like the free hands, but will play conservatively.

Good morningI I´m having a profitable cash session, I leave the tablet the sooner I can.It is better to leave all the tables with your earnings than stay trying to earn even more money.Sometimes, you can ruin a successful poker session playing some risky and unnecessary hands which can turn your happiness into regrets

 

[Peter_Hyper]

Allways play the free Hands.
Maybe you get some Bullets? You'll never know ...

Usually wait for the next BB. It's better to get those extra free hands.

Whenever I play cash games I have a set loss and a set gain limit. If I have hit that gain goal I would play until the next big blind. However I would not get involved in any marginal hands. I've actually drove 45 minutes to get to a poker room played one hand and left because I doubled up. It was a $300 buy in and left with a $320 profit. I did wait until I hit the BB to walk but I would have only played AA KK. I would have played any par if and only if I could limp in to play them and only continue with a set.

When I decide I've had enough of playing poker, I always stay at the table and leave the table at the next big blind. I burned myself several times.
I try to play very carefully those last hands.

 

[skrtel348]

I leave when I want.
I don't see what waiting for a new BB would do for me. It could be good or bad, so it doesn't change my thinking.

 

[nasty bent gorilla]

I nearly always wait for next BB before leaving, seems rational. If risking losing a big pot will leave you in a foul mood, then It's equally rational to avoid that situation.

 

[mina271]

If I have the feeling that I want to leave the table then I do so, but when I'm already close to BB then I wait until BB is over. But I also leave the game more often before I reach BB so I didn't make it a rule to wait for it, but maybe it's something I should reconsider

Normally wait blinds, but my inner tilt monkey take control sometimes and then it squick exit.

i had many times this situation when i was winning and tried to win more and more money and exactly my happiness turned into sadness and regret you are right you have to leave when you are on top as soon as possible

 

[Marshmalo1994]

I always wait till the next BB, and play the following hands really tight.
I hate on pokerstars when someone leaves and the BB skips me 😅 I think that that doesn't happen in other sites.
