Re: B&M - leaving when WAY up
[ QUOTE ]
When you feel you're losing your edge (fatigue, frustration etc) then it's time to throw in the towel. As long as it's a LAGy table and you feel you're adjusting properly, no need to quit.

Exactly. However, a lot of people think of this as only being something that happens after you've lost several big pots...you can just easily lose your focus and start playing bad poker after winning big. Call it reverse tilt--you want to keep your huge win for the session, so you end up folding too many hands, not pressing your advantages, and worse still, you can end up switching around to more traditional tilt if you then lose a few key pots.
You shouldn't be leaving the table just because you're up big. But if the fact that you're up big means that you're no longer playing good poker, then yes...get up & call it a night.
