Removing chips from cash table

[Fire_Womble]

Hi all, I am currently playing 2NL cash games in order to build a bank roll, Ive had some limited success, one thing Ive been wondering about is when Ive won a couple hands and im up 20/30bb is the idea of then leaving the table in order to ensure I dont lose it again in a later hand. I realise that once Ive joined another table I can then lose another buy in but this will limit my losses further. An example of this is in a hand I played today I was up a buy in on a table, I hit the nut straight but the other player had hit a low flush. Aside from potentially being able to get away from this, I lost double the ammount I would have done if I had left the table and played on another table. On the flip side, had I won the hand I would won double the ammount if I was employing this strategy. I am just wondering if anyone has any views on this? Cheers.

Generally you'll want to keep the chips on the table. With that being said you kinda just learnt the first lesson of playing deeper stacked, hand values change. Starting hands that make you stone cold nut hands become much more valuable and pairs and even trips become less likely to be good while getting your money all in deep stacked. Put yourself in the position of the other guy, Is HE really trying to get his 200BB chip stack in with something a straight was beating eg trips or 2 pair?

Also as you move up more people will notice you "Hit and Run" and will be less likely to give you action which can seriously effect your profits at later more difficult levels.

In most situations if I think a table is profitable I'll stay there until the fish leaves or I can feel myself starting to struggle with either tilt or not feeling I'm playing well given the table dynamics then I'll leave. Table selection will be a huge factor in your climb up the stakes, and leaving a profitable table to lock up a few BB's isn't worth it.

I would stay at the table till the table turns hard to beat. I never hit in run it kind of pisses people off and really isn't worth it. It is best to stay a the loose table win more money and when the table Nit's up then move on to another table with bad stats and crush that table to.

I quit when I get 3x buy ins. But if there are very bad fishes who just wanna donate their chips to me I will continue till they are dead

I’ve been guilty of doing the same but later on in my poker career I’ve learned to stay around when action is good and knowing when to quit when the whole table is nitty

I used to do that as well in 2NL where I would just keep the initial buy in so I didn't lose what I gained.
Then I picked up on something the more I played. I learned that if I didn't remove the rest and just kept playing, a lot of players involuntarily give away a huge sign that they have a monster by making their raises a bit to a a lot larger than their normal betting patterns preflop.
They bet larger with their monsters cuz they assume you'll call them off considering how much you have. It's never a bluff from what I've seen.

I quit when i have 3.5x more, if the table its with alot of fishes i just stay

 

[muazkkh1996]

I wish i could quit when i was ahead,its such a pain in *** i get more and more greedy lol

 

[Roger1960]

I feel you there, I notice a good many players will buy in with the least and not be timid on going all in.
I only really had one real good night at the tables. I called my brother and told him to tell me to quit, he did and I did. Bought in at 10 and left with 330.00. I do not play cash tables much at all. I started out just trying to get ffp, then I kept hitting hands and the other players kept giving me chips.

Keep your stack on the table until you are ready to quit. It helps you absorb hits and still look stronger, and it means you can capture more of any other big stacks. Plus, if you rejoin a table that you left within 30 minutes, you’ll have to put your whole stack back on it. Stick around while the going is good, leave when the profitability drops.

So it doesn't sound like you are deep enough to justify taking your chips off the table to "enjoy" them someplace else.

Nut straight vs. flush.....not sure how this all played out but you were willing to gamble and get your stack all-in....and lose unfortunately.

You can't double it up (or more) if it is not on the table. So, my opinion is that if you can take your double-up off the table. But really it is not deep enough to offset future losses.

And, you are denying yourself the opportunity to double up your double up for a quadruple up!

In the end though - I recommend doing what you are "emotionally" comfortable with. If you are a nervous wreck with 40or 60 BB on the cash table then you are also probably playing above your bankroll.

Good luck !

I think you will want to leave the chips on the table because you will want to practice playing with a deeper stack. Also you will be able to win bigger pots.

Hi.
I think it is best to play MTT tournaments. There you will not have a similar situation and you can always control your own expenses.
Good luck.

I think I played at my local card clubs live cash games for about 3 years before I realized I could get up and cash my chips in for real money....at any time! 🤔😫😭 Go figure
