Don't stay for too long.

One lesson I learned the hard way was that winning isn't enough You also have to know when to leave. I once built up a nice profit and convinced myself I could squeeze out a few more hands. Instead, the table changed, the cards stopped cooperating, and I slowly gave most of it back. Looking back, I should have taken the win and called it a day. Since then, I've tried to treat poker like any other game of discipline. If I'm well ahead or things clearly aren't going my way, I'd rather leave with money in my pocket than stay hoping for one more lucky hand.
