Whats your opinion about playing at an extremely loose/fishy table after you have won a bunch?
I made $15 profit on a buyin of 5 at a .25/.50 limit game but the variance was huge coming to that profit. At this table I had everyone calling the blinds, calling raises and reraises, and everyone chasing draws no matter how few outs they have.

It seems that with a profit of 300% it might make more sense to leave, but im not sure.

Ex: my pocket kings get busted by 7 chasers and one hits on river a gutshot. Does it make sense to just walk away?
old total profit: about $450 or so

goal before school starts (8/20): $1k more
progress: $194

I play a home game that's like this. It's hard enough when you have one maniac, but we have two certified maniacs, and two female calling stations. It's definately nothing sturdy.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

Try buying in with more than $5. Apparently, your bets were too small to drive anyone away. After your pre-flop raise you wouldn't have enough money to put out a decent bet on the flop to drive the chasers away. They probably had the odds to call you.

Sorry If I am confused, but doesn't stack size in a limit game play a small role as opposed to NL. My original post was referring to limit.

Wrong forum ?
