Walking with the Max

[CardRG]

How do you walk away a winner? It’s something I find hard to do. Or at least it’s hard to walk away with your maximum win.

For example, you play 1.00/2.00 limit Hold Em; you go up fifty bucks, winning a couple hands in a row. Can you stop then or do you have to lose a few hands before you stop?

I’d venture to guess that we all have to lose a few rounds first, get verification that the hot streak is over. Unfortunately, that verification sometimes comes in the form of losing back a good portion of our winnings.

It’s really horrible when you lose back all or most .of it, wind up finishing your session in the negative column.

What’s the best way to walk away with your maximum win?

If you go up a few BB—other than at the very start of a session—do you get more conservative in your hand selection, attempt to ensure that you finish as a winner?
