you are 3 tabling 1/2 stud with $500???

dno about stud but it applies to limit holdem and probably is the same but you should have 300bb in your account for 1 table i think...

anyway its probably a lot smarter to not cash out so early and build up the roll so you are able to make money faster at higher stakes. as you get better you should move up and cashing out doesnt allow you to do this
