Getting up from the table after winning a good amount

[Rumengh]

Do you use a strategy to get out of the table after winning a good amount? Have you done this and what do you think of this strategy. Should poker rooms penalize this?

No, why does winning a good amount mean you should leave?

 

[liuouhgkres]

No, I usually play until I get too tired or need to do something else.

Hi. I honestly would like to understand why we think it should be banned? Cannot stop anyone from leaving the table & it doesn't harm anyone playing in the table.

In on-line cash I do it. In live cash, I can't simply because there are no other open seats in other tables (there's even a queue waiting for open seat). If opportunity presents itself, I'll cash out & rebuy-in on other table. Keep profits safe & play again without worry of loosing 'em all.

It's always better to get up from the table winning than losing. And this has nothing to do with poker rooms. This is none of their business.

Hi there,

It took me a while to realize that quitting while ahead is a great strategy. I often play until I double up, then I leave and rejoin. No harm in it and it should not be banned or penalized!

Others do it to me all the time - so fair game.

cash and carry , if you can !

 

[Omahahahaha]

Nobody ever went broke taking a profit, but at the same time if the game is good and they are giving me their money i'm tempted to stick around and win more.

My strategy is to leave the table after a few rounds when I double my stack.

I never leave a table because i am winning since that would be -EV.
If the table is too tough I leave though.
So I think to build a strategy based on chipstack only makes sense if you have serious leaks playing with a lot of chips.

you can quit the game anytime you win, you can quit and everyone in poker is not punished. But of course it's not pleasant for people who lost money, but if there is no punishment for it, you can quit after defeating your opponent but why if you made money from him you can make even more money from him

I get out of the table when I feel I played the amount it was on my initial plan. If you are winning too much and start to feel fear of losing and decide to leave the table because of it, this might be considered as a positive tilt. A positive tilt is a situation where we are winning a lot and then we decide to quit playing, so we do not lose our good winrate. Is a tilt caused primarily by anxiety.
Personally I tried not to leave the table unless I feel that I'm not totally focused or playing poorly.
Poker rooms shouldn't penalize this attitude because this is the essence of cash games: if we enter the table and we receive an urgent call and we decide to leave 15 minutes after we entered the table, that's okay. If we played for 1 hour and got lucky enough to produce a wonderful winrate and decide to leave, this is also okay.

I try to play a couple of hands after winning a significant pot. If I'm card dead for like 10-15 hands and tired, I quit.

depending on what limit you are playing, if the players are unfamiliar to you, then you can leave, but if you decide that after this they will not want to play with you in the future, then for the sake of decency, play a couple of rounds of the game,

I am of the opinion that you should treat people the way you would like them to treat you.
