Do you leave a cash table after doubling up or keep playing?

JallaFFM · Jun 8, 2026

Not the same Not right away, but definitely after a while. Depends on the opponents how much portfolio they have

JhonnyThe357 · Jun 8, 2026

After doubling up, no, but after tripling up I change tables immediately.
I think that when you have significantly more chips than your opponents, you become more careless about your range.

Id take the money and run in cash games, don’t have much luck on them so would try and leave in profit. Well that’s the theory in any case!

bowserdon · Jun 8, 2026

No I think its rude to leave,but I do start thinking about slipping out

It depends on who my opponents are. There are situations where leaving the table is the same as giving up the money.

used to double up and run when playing hu plo 50 cents on stars worked like a charm 30bb/100 for a month lol

Honestly, it totally depends on the table dynamic, but "hit and running" is usually a missed opportunity.If the table is full of whales and weak players who are practically gifting you chips, leaving just because you doubled up is leaving money on the table. You want to stay and play deep-stacked against them because that's where your biggest win rate comes from.The only times I’m leaving after a double-up are if the game gets incredibly tough, the bad players bust out, or if playing with a 200 BB stack makes me uncomfortable and start playing scared money. If you're playing well and have the edge, sit tight and keep printing.

Most often I leave the table.

Canadaking60 · Jun 9, 2026

If I double up I don't leave until I've lost it all.

hardongear · Jun 10, 2026

Nope. Why would I leave everyone outta money and going home? I mean If I chose my table/game selection wisely then I'm likely near the best player at my table. Why would leave such a good spot? Makes no sense. As long as the clowns and fish keep reloading I'm not budging an inch give me all the money.

Cheers!!!

I usually don't play cash, only if I have some bonus or something. So the few times that I play, I basically do that.
I've never knew if there's a better strategy related to when leaving the table.
And if it's live, I guess that is not well received, so there's a little bit of a pressure to keep playing.

I almost always leave . If I stay I play very conservatively , see if I can win more , or else I leave with [h| profits . If I have 300 blinds or more I might[ stake , try to play against 100 blinds , play and call more , try to take their whole stack , it's nicer to play as [he big stack in a cash table , also in zoom

After doubling your stack early in a cash game, what do you usually do?

A) Keep playing

B) Leave the table

C) Play more aggressively

D) Tighten up

frank174 · Jul 8, 2026

Of course your going to keep playing and why would you change anything just because you doubled up,it's a cash game ,I'm never going anywhere in a cash game unless I have figured out I'm the guppy then I say thanks for the lesson and find a different table

pundim · Jul 8, 2026

It really depends on the opponent(s) I'm playing against on each hand. Having a bigger stack influences how you should behave and play since you have more action available. I usually either B or C

burro · Jul 8, 2026

For me, it's usually option B, I leave the table.
I play Rush & Cash, and honestly, when I double my chips early on, I'm a little afraid of losing what I just won 😅 I'm also more comfortable playing with around 100 BB. It may not be the best technical answer, but for me it helps protect profits and avoid errors with a larger stack.

nabmom · Jul 8, 2026

I celebrate to myself (gloating isn't a good look) and keep on playing my game. I'm playing the tendencies of the other players as much as possible, and that doesn't change when I have a full stack. I also try and buy in for either 100 big blinds or whatever the table norm is. So I avoid being short-stacked.

bullkk · Jul 8, 2026

Not immediately, it all depends on the pocket card

Roobz75 · Jul 8, 2026

I'd leave.
Sure for unsure and all that.

Four Dogs · Jul 13, 2026

I never leave a table just because I've doubled up or stacked off. I will occasionally call it quits after losing a big hand but its usually just a matter of having played my fill and I'm just not feeling like taking a trip to the cage. I'll often hang around for an orbit or two after winning a big pot just to avoid looking like I'm hitting and running.

Atararo14 · Jul 17, 2026

A good player's goal is not to double their money, but to make the right decisions; once the session is over, they can leave.

cloudsoh · Jul 23, 2026

I lean toward hardongear's take - stack size alone isn't a reason to leave a good game. What I do watch for is whether doubling up changed the table dynamic against me specifically, since some players start playing tighter or more cautiously once they see you've got a big stack and know you can put them to a tough decision for their whole roll. If the game is still soft and I'm still getting action, I stay. The one time I will consider leaving is if the big stack came from one player busting and leaving, since that can change the whole texture of the table.

Leave and join again

ElTigre · Aug 14, 2026

I always stay. If I double up, I don’t see a reason to leave. If the table is good and I’m playing well, I’m happy to keep going and take advantage of the situation. Of course, I still keep an eye on the table dynamics and my own game, but doubling up itself isn’t a reason for me to quit.

Do you leave a cash table after doubling up or keep playing?
