I'm sitting with about $420 in front of me now and the thought comes to leave. Being a gentleman (or an idiot if you like,) I decide not to be a hit-and-run artist (because I hate when people do it) and at least see/fold a few more hands before I rack up and leave.
I played this game recently and it's hilariously bad, full of tourists with a few decent regs (great folks who I got to know pretty well over a 10 hour stretch).
The hand is meh w/e and i'm not folding 55 pre. I need a limp range to balance my back-raise range anyway. Flop a set and go broke at this stack depth. He has some 2pr and 33 combos, plus all 77 TT 64, and you can't exclude ANY 64o combos btw - not in this game.
The only issue I have with the hand is the bolded bit above. Once you win those chips, they're yours. If you want to win one hand and say my work here is done, then you are morally, ethically and legally entitled to rack them up. don't give it a moments thought. the only reason to stay is if you believe the game is profitable, and if you are correctly bankrolled for the game. the second part could be a
most legitimate reason to leave.
I've hit and run many tables over the years - often filling in 20 minutes before a tournament starts, or playing a 1/3 game before my 2/5 seat comes up. i
want to run over the table, scoop some chips and move on quickly. i'll even laugh about it with any regs that may be playing.
