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

I usually play on GG and try to keep playing until reach the minum points that I need to "guarantee" some prize at the daily leaderboards, but I may stop before it sometimes if I do a very great run (or if the day is going very bad and I need to stop before loosing more to variance) and I'm not too close to reach the points I need to.

There are some online poker rooms that punish this behavior called "hit and running", esp. GG-Poker.
So if you play there you should stay for 1 or 2 orbits.

Its very enticing but if the table is not tough then its a huge mental leak to leave after doubling. A leak where something tells u to bring ur winnings somewhere else where u cant lose them back. If u are are a decent player then u only do this decision based on how others play.

U can also lose money back on a new table so there exist no safe space really for ur winnings. Its best to just play with a solid brm so it wont hurt if u lose it (and some more maybe) back.

Its extremely important to stay positive no matter what and on a weak table its possible to win multiple stacks more playing solid. So by leaving we basically sacrifice EV and lose money in the long run. Its a perfect example of "Losing more in the long run by trying to lose less in the short run".

I usually keep playing after doubling up, as long as the table is still profitable and I’m focused. I don’t think doubling up is a reason to leave by itself. If the table gets tougher or I feel tired or tilted, then I’ll cash out.
