Silver Level
If you get up on a table real quick, like 80% up, do you take the money and run?
I ask because last night I got up 125% (25NL) real early but had in my mind I wanted to play 100 hands. 2 bad beats and it was all gone. I had toyed with the notion of taking the money and running, but a different goal (the 100 hands thing) took precedence.
Tonight I got up 80% (same game) and I left.
In 351 games I am dead even. I did this mainly to clear a bonus a bit faster, and from that POV I am probably gonna get to the $7.50 part of it. More importantly, I think I have shown myself that I can play at this level. Never mind that my BR really doesn't warrant this big a game, rather that I can take a hit, and come back and not feel tilted.
I can say that over the 4 days I've done these that rings are a grind compared to tourneys. Tourneys are finite, clean and clear, and way different than ring.
Another reason I am playing these is that from all I read here, the games lower than this seem to still suffer the donk factor, not to be confused with the XX factor. So far I have not seen nearly the number of fish I would have expected.
Still the question stands. Take the money and run, or stick it out thinking bigger thoughts?
