Decision to Leave Table

[jsnipes28]

I've read that you should only leave a table if you are not playing your best or if there is a more profitable situation out there. This makes sense, and i certainly try and stick to that notion as well as the fact that "money not lost is just the same as money won" when i only have BBx20 left and leave the table rather than going all in PF with KT.

There are a lot of players on the other hand that will leave a table after doubling up, as to preserve their winnings. I understand that a good player should be able to preserve his profit without leaving the table, but there has got to be a point at which it is more profitable to leave and find a new table.

Personall, i have found that once you reach 130 BB it is relatively easy to get to 170 BB, but that once i have reached 170-180 i seem to stagnate for a while. I would be very interested if anyone has analyzed their $/hr relative to their stack size.

Another observation that i have made, in the couple of times that this has happened at NL 100 6MAX, is that when i eclipse $250 i have continued to make money at a steady rate, but it has come in the form of short stacks (25-50) buying in hoping to double up. I usually try to avoid buying in at a table with a huge stack, do most of you, or what do you look for exactly?

ANyways, looking for all the help i can get. I know this is not that clear cut of a question.
