If you made a big cash online, would you cash out or move to higher stakes?

I have seen lots of the sunday million final table players mostly fish, who cash big in that tourney, and have a rather small average stake go right to the 1k and 2k heads up games the very next day looking to clean out the sharks. What would you do with a 50k to 200k score?

I would probably keep $1,000.00 to play with and the rest would go to paying down my mortgage and adding to my daughter's college fund. Maybe save some back for an incredible vacation. I know its not the most exciting answer but getting out of debt and seeing my daughter graduate from college are very appealing to me.

Fault always lies in the same place, my fine babies: with him weak enough to lay blame.

I think I would cashout 90% and play the 10%, playing in higher buy-in MTTs like the $162 Daily 100K on PS. The field is smaller and if you finish in the top one-third you will show a profit.

Stu would say go to the track, visit the sports book, buy a hooker then spend the rest foolishly on some coke!

Straight to the $500/$1000 fixed limit table and pray that some millionaire who never played before sits down.

Stay at the same level I was winning at and feel comfortable playing while testing the next level up on occasion to see if I can make money there and am ready for the jump.

Like most of the above, cash out most of it. But I would use it to live off till my pensions cut in. No choice really when you are "of a crtain age" and haven't had a job for 2 1/2 years.

If you are talking a HUGE cash like the Sunday Million, I'd have to pretty much agree with Ref (shocker )... on a $200K win I would keep a good $15,000 in my account and start playing $50 - $200 MTTs.

With a $50K win I would have to cash out $45K and would still probably start in on the $50 - $200 MTTs, upon losing a couple thousand I'd have no problem moving back to my normal level.

It is certainly tempting to throw a good portion back into the mix hoping to hit it big... when I first started playing the game I hit an MTT for $4500 or so of which I immediately cashed out a good percentage but the higher stakes bug swept me off my feet (my graph on SS is funny, I go STRAIGHT DOWN from $0 to -$1300 LOL).
