I was at the 10 seat $0.25-0.50 tables and got up to $120 from $50. My friend was telling me that I need to leave the table and go to another one, buying back in at the original amount of $50 to ensure that my profits would be secure. He also thought I would be more inclined to call bets with worse cards.
However, I disagreed, saying if I kept my game consistent with the way I was playing before, nothing should change. And now, people probably won't try to buy out a pot from me seeing that I'm the chip leader by a big margin at the table.
What do you all think? Should I go back in at $50, or stay with the $120?

I used to do that, but now I am only leaving if the action dries up.

Don't leave a good game, unless you're the reason that it's good 
If your stack size is making the game bad, then leave by all means. But make sure you can identify that this is really the cause and not something else. A lot of times, people look at the big stack with more respect that they really deserve to have. If you can keep picking up pots by leveraging this respect, no reason to leave. You just spent the last hour trying to get into that situation.
If people start gunning for you and you don't like to play against that, then leave. I personally like when I get ahead and start to get some chasers. I play smart and agressive and they play for draws and overbet. Over the long run, this is exactly what I want.

Thanks for the replies everyone. All of that makes sense to me. I will put it to good use.
