When should you checkout your profits from a Jacks or Better session (6/9)?
Assuming the cash session is 300$ (or set to what you think would be best).

Mathematically, at which point should a player either cash-out or set trailing stops?

From distribution charts of 10000 hands, it seems higher probability to end up in the ~-250 than anywhere else. Maybe ~33% of the area of the curve is in the profitable zone. Should the cash-out be at least 2x300$ to cover the next 2 play sessions?

9/6 JOB is a negative expected value game. You should cash out before you ever even press the deal/draw button. Every hand you play you are expected to lose money.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

But if you could reinvent the wheel how would you do it?

Welcome to the forum. It depends what your goals and expectations are. The short answer before mine basically sums it up, that with each spin you will on average lose a little bit. There is no spin with which you will have an advantage.
We here scoff at the idea of a 'play session', in that life is one long play session.
If you ask the question differently, like what are the chances I can turn my $300 into $900 so that I can fund two future $300 bankrolls, someone here can give you a an answer.
If I am hauling my ass to a casino, I more often have a time limit than a dollar limit. If I happen to win $300 after an hour, but I still have a few more hours before I want to go home, or to work, then it doesn't matter to me if I was up $100, $300, or down $200.

First I would think "round".

Wheel is blase. I would improve air travel or time travel.

Think big. Perfect LSD and you won't need anything else. Just think it. Don't dream it, Be it.
The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction is supposed to make sense.
