All-in Cash-out Option

[wrzlbrnft]

Do you use the All-in Cash-out otpion in pokerstars cash games?
I was happy have it activated and chosen. Had a very strong hand after the turn, shoved and got a bad beat on the river. With this option I could also win money with the beaten hand. The cash amount is calculated based on the hand's probability to win the pot. This limits the risk in Cash Games.

It’s a -EV move in the long run. I’d suggest not using it if you’re serious about your poker. I can understand it being useful to a recreational player who tilts easily.

It's easy for those who want to give away their money quickly, then it's easier to go to the casino)

I use it any time I'm playing cash (only play micro stakes anyway) Fed up of being screwed when +90% to win and it happens so many times it's just a joke. I'm happy to take 90%

That's exactly what I do, but if I am lower then 20% I don't use this option. There is only a few to gain and big luck might come

Again it depends if I've got my money in bad I might be happy to take 20%, better than losing it all.

I have it automatically turned off, as pokerstars takes a fee so it is - EV and this removes the temptation. I can maybe see it being useful if you are under rolled for your stakes, but really you shouldn't be playing at all if that is the case. It always makes me happy to see someone who chooses this and ends up winning the pot so they lose out on money.
