Is it poor form to leave a HU game after...

    Went for some $200NL headsup tonight on UB, and on the 3rd hand I hit a flush Q high on the flop, and won about $178, then left. I decided that was enough for tonight. Is this bad poker etiquette? Opinions.

    Edit, he was rebuying when I left.. ?

    People have been doing it to me all night so it must be ok.

    Hit n' running is bad karma.

    I never leave straight away. I always play a few more hands, as i would in a live game. I dont class online as being much different in that respect.

    I know it's poor form, but from looking at my history I always seem to lose about 10-15% of my stack within the next few hands after hitting big like this, usually due to the 'newfound' aggresiveness of villain. Decided I wasn't going to let it happen tonight ya kno.. I'll just have to take the bad karma on the chin :-P

    Naw lad. Dont worry about it. Poker players dont have long memories about that type of thing. It is your money and you can do whatever you want with it.
    On a side note that is a decent point about losing 10-15percent directly after winning a large pot.
    Out of curiousity is there 1 singular reason for this happening ?
    e.g. playing looser ? everybody else getting aggresive or what ?

    LOL, If I ever see a ratholer and have time to make a note on him, if I ever see him again I warn the table and would never play them HU. To say Poker players don't have long memories about things like this is madness, I'll look around other tables for the player so I can take a note on him, if I missed it first time around...

    It's really annoying when this happens, but it happens all the time, so I wouldn't get too worried about it. It's usually a bad player I find, if you're losing 10-15% of your stack in quick order you need to adjust better, if the other guy is tilting let him bluff you or get your money in lighter, if you become an overly confident raising/ bluffing machine, you need to get that under control, but this could be a HUGE leak, if you have a bad player who you just stacked you should want to play with him more, as usually he'll be tilting and not playing his best, either way it's a great spot to be in...
