    After a rough holiday season and a high heating bill I had to pull out most of my br to pay bills and my horrible mtt streak lately just hurt it more. So I pulled it all out, and left $25, playing 5/10 ring games back to $50, then try a few sng's, keep playing 5/10 since I have done well so far and they seem soft for me. Well here is my question:

    How long do I stay at the same table of a cash game, I've heard a lot of different opinions but here are the options (besides once you get stacked):

    1)After you double-up

    2)After a certain amount of time, no matter how much you make.

    3)Once you've decided you can't kill the table.

    4) how about while the game is good and your read of the other players leads you to believe you can beat it?

    I've heard this is the worst possible idea. If you show up at the table and realize you're outmatched fine but you start hitting cards until you lose a big pot and any profit you've made.

    I've heard you sit down and play for a certain amount of time, and at the end of that time period you leave, no matter what.

    I've also heard that if you're trying to build a roll it's important to double up and leave.

    ??who have you been listening to

    if you have an edge in that game and you feel good about playing it, then play it.

    yesterday i was playing 50nl with a guy with, like, a 96 VPIP after like 40 hands. after 30 minutes am i going to leave this table? #$^& no. i'd rather keep playing because now i know all the styles of the players on the table.

    joining a table full of randoms sucks because i have to wait a while to get some reads. so i try to stay as long as i can, personally, unless i decide i'm playing with too many regs.

    also, i'd definitely rather play with 200 BB stacks against players i have an edge against rather than 100 BB stacks. amateur players make their biggest mistakes when it's more deepstacked poker

    since op is speaking about .0,5/.10 this shoudlnt be much of a factor... i mean basicially anybody multitables cash games and at these stakes we dont really need reads on the players just value bet them to death and make youre profit and move up
