Mircolimit: When to walk away

[cmcguinness]

I know this is prolly a subjective question but: When you are playing .10/.20 type holdem, when should you walk away from the table? Since the limit are so low is it better to set a percentage of money you want to win before you leave, or is it better just to set a time limit and leave the table once you hit. It seems like it would be easier to know when you need to to walk at higher limits as opossed to when your "monster pots" are in the $1 or $2 range.

You should walk away when you don't feel like playing anymore.

Setting time limits is not too great an idea because say you will play for 2 hrs and 1 hr in you're playing like shit but you don't realise you are setting yourself up for a fall.

Winning a certain amount and quitting isn't too great either. You may be playing great, running good and destroying everybody, so why leave as soon as you are up 3 buyins? Doing that will not allow you to have those epic 12bi up sessions.

Quitting after a certain amount isn't too bad an idea when you are short of confidence because you have been getting destroyed and you just want to book some confidence winning sessions, but not as a hard and fast rule.

Some observations in the micro stakes or small stakes.

The villains respect winning players
If your above your buyin x2 the other players will have more respect for your actions.
You do however get to the point x3 you buyin where they have too much respect and won’t play, then its time to leave.

If you Multi Table close the loosing tables and keep open the winning tables, when you have doubled your buyin consider closing.

If you get cast down from the new guy tripling up so quickly, you risk playing on tilt without even thinking you are on tilt. But if you only play very good hands, you will do much better than the donk in the long run.
