Topping up in cash games

Just a quick question but at what point do people generally top up to the max amount in cash games.

Up until only a few months ago this is something I'd never even done much before but thanks to the poker clinic I've learned just how valuable it is to do so.

I've been playing NL20 a lot more recently & find myself topping up whenever I get down to around the £17.50 - £18 mark. Do I need to be topping up after losing 10% of my stack or do people generally leave it a bit longer?

Apologies if this is a bit of a vague question.

    If I have time, its at every single opportunity.

    If playing 4 tables which is the most I can do on sky, its normally the same as you, when I notice Im below 28/27 (nl30)

    I once logged off a table, after being completely card dead, and having had the most frustrating session ever (every pfr 3-bet, every c bet raised, etc etc), and I checked the "my account" thing, and I was -£28 on one table, having never had my balance drop below £27.

    Did a buy in, in top ups! lol

      It is an area that will give differing opinions but for me topping up early is better than later. My thinking behind this is that the amount you can win is dependant upon the amount in front of you. The only exception i would consider is if the table was full of stacks shorter than yours in which case i would just wait for a bit longer.
