Last, and most important, we now discuss the maximum amount of money you are permitted to win by sticking with Scarne's Poker-Playing System. You'll recall your recommended pocket bankroll was sixty times the top betting limit of the game being played. Scarne's Poker Betting System demands that your winning goal should be to win a sum equal to your pocket bankroll. In short, when you have doubled the amount of your pocket bankroll, you quit the game. Examples: If you are playing in a $1 and $2 limit game and your beginning pocket bankroll was $120, and the last pot you collected doubled it to $240 or more, you must quit playing. This forces you to quit the game when cards seem to be coming your way and you are a winner. Quitting a game when you are on a winning streak is a very difficult thing to do. But quit the game you must. It is only by quitting the game once you have doubled your pocket bankroll that you will increase the number of your winning Poker sessions. If you fail to abide by any or all of the three main rules that make up Scarne's Poker-Playing System, it will not work.
