6 card PLO

the 6 PLO doesn't get going much .... the players that are losing would be gambling a lot trying to get unstuck

^^ Sounds like two great reasons to stay in the game!

Of course, if this sort of thing is important to you:

if you lose money in the game you're unlikely to get it back anytime soon ... the chances of doing some of your winnings is high

... then by all means quit and lock up a win.

But great games don't happen that often and you maximise your long-term profits by playing in them for as long as you can when you do find one running.

hence the players that are losing would be gambling a lot trying to get unstuck

Sounds like a great reason to stay in the game!

Again situational, I personally would stay; being that I play PLO on a regular basis and have a half decent bankroll, but if I was playing 1-2 NLH and 9x'd my buy in I'd most certainly leave as soon as the worm starts to turn...

I think I'm being naive in the sense assuming that 1k profit is a decent win for Paul and I'm not aware of his circumstance, only that he was recently burgled and used phrases like "nut peddling" etc.. So maybe he should stay and gamble it up, but even then you have to weigh the pros against the cons and how much the win means to him...

I disagree, I think the most profitable time to play is this time when stacks are deeper and people are losing/gambling more/in effect playing worse.

Saying that you should leave if you've 9x'd your buyin, but stay if you're level really doesnt make much sense, unless the money is now too important to you and is affecting your play, in which case you should certainly get up.

Should stay unless as pointed out the money is important to you or you feel that the wave you're riding is starting to turn.
When I play I prefer to join a game later as the winners have generally left and the losers are chasing and overall this has been definitley more profitable for me in the long run.

I stayed till all the fish have gone that's my normal plan
