Some players like to leave the table after they double up, while others keep playing to maximize profit.

What do you usually do after a big win in cash games?

I finish the game when I win or lose as much as I set before the game.

For me it’s not about doubling up, it’s about how good the game still is. If the table is soft and I still have an edge, I think leaving just because you doubled up is a mistake.

However, if I feel my mindset changing (getting overconfident or playing looser), then it can be a good idea to leave and reset.

So I don’t base the decision on the result, but on my mental state and table quality.

Depends how comfortable you are playing deep stacked.

In my case, yes. If I'm capable of doubling my tokens, I happy.

I always take the money out from Cash games when I dobled up my win, and come straight or after the hour back again with the initial amount.
That way, I can't br called all in with too many blinds and loose everything again.

The easy way to look at is -do you think you have an edge and do you want to keep playing?

If you answer no to either stop playing.
