My question is: am I better off getting up from a table after making XX% profit from my buy-in, say 50%, 75% or even 100%, then getting up, cashing in, putting the profit in my pocket and re-buying in to the same (or different table) and starting a new session... OR... if I'm better off forgetting about the % profit I'm up and keep attacking the table and playing through with all the chips in play.
The third option would be to get up with the initial profits and just go home.
Looking for input.
So, you say this, then ask the question anyway?
The statement I highlighted is not true. It is very easy to say when the best time to get up from the table is. When you don't think you can win money in that game anymore (for whatever reason) or when there is a game on another table where you could win more. These aren't affected by bankroll.
Basically, your question seems to me like "I'm underolled, what is the best way to lessen my chances of going bust.
1. First you have to be beating the game, otherwise it doesn't matter
2. I'm not a maths guy so I can't do the risk of ruin situations but it seems to me logical that if you have 200 in you roll and double it, cashing out and rebuying another day with two buy-ins would leave you less chance of going broke.
However, I'd still doubt it is the correct play cause in this case you shouldn't be trying to avoid going broke because you basically don't have a roll yet. Just keep playing until you have one.
