Default Re: What would you do?

Depending on your bankroll, 1500 can be a huge boost. While others will (rightly I suppose) state that you should never leave a game that you can beat, or one that you have an edge on other players, there is something to be said with booking a solid win.

Other factors which would enter into the equation:

If you leave the table, is there another game that you can get into (is there another casino nearby - such as Vegas' strip)?

Do you play at this game often (I see in the OP you'd been at the table for a while, but if you hit a couple big hands fast next time, it could be counter-productive to pull a hit-n-run if you play against these people often)?

Do you find your starting requirements dropping when sitting with a big stack, and are you more willing to chase straight/flush draws when up? Was your early success the result of you hitting those OESD's?

Personally, I try not to judge the success of a session based on the high-point of my chip stack (except when bringing it to the cashier). I see nothing wrong with booking a winning session, but there's a pitfall to letting the amount of chips in front of you affect your play.
