Going out on top

In the cash game, it's important to know when to leave the table. You have the option to do so at any time, but the trick is in picking the right time. It's always nice to go out on top, but you don't want to leave too early if there's more money to be made. Also, no matter how much you may have won, it's dissatisfying to leave when you feel like you've just begun. A big part of the reason to play is for the sheer enjoyment of it, and it's hard to enjoy something if you don't allow yourself enough time to enjoy it properly.

Last night, I left at the perfect time. I'd had a reasonably long session, and had just brought my stack back up to the high water mark I'd set about a dozen hands before. I didn't have a perfect "quit signal" hand, which for me is any hand with a deuce or a three in it, but it was close enough for government work :-)

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 64 hands and saw flop:
 - 7 out of 9 times while in big blind (77%)
 - 4 out of 8 times while in small blind (50%)
 - 23 out of 47 times in other positions (48%)
 - a total of 34 out of 64 (53%)
 Pots won at showdown - 2 of 6 (33%)
 Pots won without showdown - 5

delta: $25,589
cash game no limit hold'em balance: $5,892,231
balance: $8,949,934
