Imagine you start with $100 and quickly turn it into $250.

Would you cash out, lock away your original $100, or keep playing?

I'm curious how others decide when a winning session is good enough to stop.

I always play 30 minutes then stop.

I'm withdrawing 150 and going to get something for fishing—just to have the motivation and desire to win again and add something to my tackle box. 😀

I don't spend more than $20 an evening. And if I win $30, I consider that a very good result. So, in the situation you described, that would be a signal for me to stop playing.

That’s a good point, having a small target makes walking away feel a lot easier.
 
As long as I can hold my eyes open, I keep on playing. Why would I want to leave and think about what could have been?
 
Haha, I get that feeling, sometimes the curiosity about what happens next makes it hard to call it a night.

That’s a good reminder that even a winning session can turn around pretty quickly if you keep pushing your luck.
 
I always set myself some kind of limit both with losing and winning and when this limit is reached I'm going to stop no matter what.

Yeah, I agree, having a limit for both wins and losses makes it easier to know when to walk away.
