Hit And Running

[Jrobb25 0]

I know this has prob been discussed but, I'd like some insight. Going back to Chris Fergusons podcast where he went from 1 to 10k or whatever it was he said, he played with 5% of his broll and whenever he dup..he waited till the blinds got back to him and left. Now I have a decent bankroll but I mainly play tournies and I'm learning to play cash now. I realize it's a whole other beast. I mainly played limit but now I've switched to no limit cash. I was playing 1-2 when this happen in my FIRST hand. Im In the BB and a guy raises it to 2 dollars and gets 4 calls I have 65h I call and flop is 78k all hearts..org raisers insta goes all in and gets one call...and its for all my money I think 70 bucks and both have me covered..I think org has a big pair and the caller prob the ace of hearts, so I say whatever I call also..maybe not a great call I dont know I have a made hand and a oe st flush draw. Well I was right one guy had JJ the other a7 with ace of hearts. brick brick and I triple up. Now thats a huge pot for me,thats 2 more buy ins. Is it ok if I leave after that hand, even though it was my first hand. I waited till blinds and left but part of me didn't know if that was alright?

Obviously you don't "owe" anyone anything at that point, but personally, I'd hang at least a couple orbits and only play strong cards if/when you do. That's just good etiquette. If you were JJ or A7 in the same situation, would you be pissed if the villain left? Methinks yes.But bigger picture, you're going to get back into the game at some point (the metagame and all), so why not stay there for a bit? If you're that worried about your BR immediately after tripling it, you shouldn't be playing at that limit. But more important, you've established a willingness to call with marginal hands and people will be gunning for you. Sounds like the perfect opportunity to get paid on good cards and multiply your BR a few more times.

I personally stay for a while. I think they say stay in the game where the money is at.

online=perfectly fine.live casino=fine but you will get some very nasty lookslive homegame/underground game=depending on house rules etc. you will probably get your hand cutoff.

thanks for the advice...it wasnt my full bankroll..I usually play with 5%-10% max at any given time. Like I said I felt a lil guilty. I prob should've stayed a lil longer.

i hate hit and runners...especially people that sit there for awhile and just stare at their screen and im all their friends about a big pot they won and then leave....really annoying

Why did you only play one orbit? It's seems strange. other than that, unless you are playing with friends, you can leave whenever you want.

How do you know they're staring at their screens, IM-ing their friends? F*cking Patriot Act.

There's not really anything wrong with it but it will limit your growth as a player. In order to advance as a player you need experience playing with a deep stack. Deeper than the 100BB max buy in. Specially if there are other big stacks at the table its good to stick around and get the experience. If you have 10% of your bankroll on the table when you triple up it means your playing too high. If you're afraid of having 3 buyins on the table you're playing too high. If your choice is playing scared or leaving it's better to leave but these are all things that you need to learn and get over as you develop as a player.

Good advice..Like I said I mainly play tournies just starting to play cash..I was playing with 5% of my "cash" bankroll on this one site. I have alot more ,I set myself a cash limit since Im really not that good at cash yet. But I think your right I need to stay with a bigger stack and learn that way cause I would rather play live and no way ever would I leave a table after winning a big pot.

You know I used to hate short stackers but I found that the majority of them really suck and give away their money. Now I seek them out. If you can find a guy who continually busts and re-buys for 40BB you've got your own personal ATM machine.

pffffft, it's more like 20BB's and it ruins the SH'd games.
