Cash out a winner or? - Page 2 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

I meant when we're first thinking about calling the $35 preflop, not after we flop top set. I mean really, if V3 is a decent player, what is he limp/calling $35 with?

My biggest problem with this hand is the reads on V3 and V4. They're obviously wrong. With accurate reads--namely, that they're pretty bad--I wouldn't change a thing about this hand unless I wanted to raise preflop myself.

The absolute best habit you can learn is to leave the INSTANT you start worrying about your profits. F the blinds and btn just go. Hell, few nights ago, I was up $2k after 12 hrs of grinding. I nodded off for a split second on my btn . I woke up and saw the pot was raised by an aggro donk, there was a caller a.nd I had AQs. Guess what I did. I folded, racked up, and left.

Why risk $2k when my game has slipped to my d-game.

Playing with scared money is just as bad as playing with fatigued money.

It's all one long game. Once you truly internalize that fact, then waiting for the blinds before you rack up a $500, $1000, or, $2000+ profit seems silly.

Agree with Harris, simply cash out as soon as you're no longer playing optimally, and forget "I'm playing X number of more hands until my BB". That generally keeps other people happy, but who cares, you're worried about yourself.
