Leaving with Big Stack vs. Sticking around
May 25th, 2010, 2:31 pm
Some nights when you are really in the zone and playing poker well you can build a pretty massive stack at just one poker online table. While many no limit games online have a cap to the buy in, if you sit and win some big pots you may find yourself sitting well above it, dwarfing anybody else who comes to sit down, other than those who have been there as long as you and also done well, or those who build a large stack themselves. In these spots, there sometimes comes the question of how much are you willing to lose. With these big stacks, if others at the table can match you, you might have four or five buy ins ready to come and go. If you are ok with moving that kind of weight and still playing your best game, there is a lot more to be earned with that much weight behind you. Sometimes, though, also, getting up and stockpiling those poker winnings, then moving to another table with a normal sized stack minimizes the amount you can lose on any one hand. The payoffs are larger when you hit, and bigger when you get trapped, but if you are in the zone and willing to push, you can make some really huge strides being the dominate chip leader at the table.
