It has happened with me few times, and whether to stay or not would complete depend up on my state of mind - sober or drunk.

Looking back at those days, I would never play more if I already made 3x of my initial investment.

Drunk or not! That certainly would influence the decision.
So, in those days, did you stay or leave? ;):ROFLMAO:.

😂😂

Drunk: stay and empty the bank balance.

Sober: go back home and enjoy the sleepless night, thinking why did I even over-play.

You went to a casino with no cash, so you withdrew some money from an ATM and played a poker tournament in which you made the money.

Now you have about 3 times the amount you started the day with, and you got tempted by a nice Slot machine you saw on your way out. Sure enough, you sat and played for a couple of hours, but ended up losing most of what you had, then you went to a Blackjack table hoping to get even, only to lose everything.

Without giving it any thought, you went straight back to the ATM, but you couldn't get any money as you had exceeded your daily limit.

It was around 10pm, would you hang around till midnight to be able to withdraw or just go home?
classic i'll win an online MTT and then whoops i'm in live casino and oh no ... it's gone

I know what you mean. It happened to me many times, especially when I didn't know what I was doing and had no idea about BR management.
I don't know if you saw the blackjack Academy course, but just in case, here's the link. It's very interesting, easy and that guy presents it nicely.

If I have won three times more money, it automatically means that I have already arrived home, and no temptations will prevent me from keeping my profit :)

Good for you man! There are many other games one can play in the casino, have fun and not lose as much.
But what if you found yourself in that situation somehow? Just imagine it happened to you. What would you do?

I think in such situations you need to listen to your intuition and stick to your bankroll management. And if one contradicts the other, it's better to just go home.

Good for you man. It's really better not to play them at all.
But you avoided the topic of this thread. What would be your decision if you ever found yourself in that situation?

You mean if your BR is still healthy, you would stay till midnight and get more money?

I would go to the beautiful woman who had just invited me up to her room to continue our conversation. But of course, only after I had introduced her to my mother :)

Wrong thread, but it's ok.
So, do you always take your mom to the casino with you? Or is it her who takes you with her?
And honestly, if I was in that situation, I don't think I would tell my mother what I was about to do.
