In what cases do you take cash out?
I know a lot of these replies were jokes but the general rule of thumb is this. Statistically speaking it is never a good idea to take the cashout over a long stretch of
hands.
Read that again. If you have a response to that that isn't "You're right" I strongly encourage you to read about basics statistics.
There is ONE reason I would ever do it and when I have done it. I had a few adult beverages and played in a game way outside of my comfort zone. I jammed all in and was an 86% favorite. I cashed out because losing that pot would have put me in a bad mental state.
FWIW I won the hand outright and cost myself 14% of the pot.
TL;DR
NEVER USE THE CASH OUT OPTION (unless you're drinking)
