Re: Controlling Losses
if you have not learnt to walk away from a table with a loss, learn that skill. Stop losses are going to be useful in that initial training.
I suspect your losing sessions are a lot longer than your winning sessions coz you simply dont want to leave a table stuck.
there are many good reasons to bail out of a table when you start losing.
Sure you think you can beat it, but as most of us over-estimate our abilities then maybe you cannot.
once you start losing other players notice this and will play a different sort of game against you than the one they play when you are ahead.
you might well be playing below par, either coz of cards, opponents, your loses, whatever the reason, you are losing and at that particular moment in time it is likely you are not going to be able to do much about the factors creating that.
if you have an urge to play poker and cannot tear yourself, if you have pokertracker, satisfy yourself with reviewing the session in its entirety and see how you could have played differently.
