Mathematically speaking (and assuming I'm break even in the game otherwise), would this approach have neutral expectation?
There is a silver-level article in the strategy section entitled:
"How to play deep stacked".
Look for it when you get to silver.
By exiting early, you miss some great opportunities.
When you are deep stacked, you have greater implied odds against other deep stacks.
I'm assuming you're playing No-Limit?
I'll move this thread to the No Limit Strategy section, since it may elicit more responses there.
I typically play a set number of hands per session, regardless of wins or losses.
Rather, I close unprofitable tables (in other words, ones where I can't steal blinds
), and open new ones.
Like the other guy said, if there are exploitable players at your table, stay and exploit 'em.
Personally I find that I prefer exploiting nits, since they are WAY more predictable than maniacs
), and open new ones.
