Default Do you keep playing in this situation?

You are by far the best player at the table.

Every other player at the table is a total donkey.

You only have enough money for one buy in per session.

No matter how much you outplay the others, they always have as many chips as you do.

When do you call it quits? After doubling your buy in, tripling, never?

What do you mean by this?

If you are severely underrolled for the level you're playing you probably should expect to go broke no matter how much of an advantage you have.

And if you are out playing them there really isn't away for all of them to have the same amount of chips as you. This makes no sense unless you are sitting in a deep stack game or your not winning.

For instance you have brought $200 to a casino.

You are playing a good, tight game, but because they are all donking off their chips there are always several people with chip stacks as big or bigger than yours.

Hmmm... dunno.. I guess I'll get my money in good a few times and expect to bust when someone sucks out, since they'll always have me covered its bound to happen. Although if I only had money for one buy-in I wouldn't be playing because I don't like the idea of going busto.

I do not get it.. if they are bad then you win eventually once the luck evens out.. if you lose your BI then you go home. If you win and keep making +EV decisions then it does not matter if you eventually go busto.. so long as you have money to play again. FWIW i would take a walk after doubling and come back to another table 1hr later (i.e. rat hole baby).

Or if you play every week, why not play once a month and turn up with 4 of your noraml BI's then you have a better chance of walking away with there money. Then next week you can turn up with maybe 5+ BI's and hey presto a role starts to be built.

I leave when they leave/when I've been playing for so long that I can't see straight.

I don't understand how this is even the tiniest bit realistic.

lol, you're questioning the reality of a hypothetical situation? why even bother?

the simpler answer is...to leave.

just like playing against a station that shoves AI PF with every single hand, but has infinite money, you're just going to get stacked when you decide to play.

It's how I play at the casinos, I don't like to bring more than 200 to 400 usually.

This is your problem.

If the situation is truly as you describe you can maximize your EV thusly: bring many many buyins and never leave.
