Default Re: Stop playing when you are up

[ QUOTE ]
If you fall into the mentality of being afraid to lose it back...you shouldn't play if it causes you to play less than optimal.


[/ QUOTE ]

My rate is about $23/hr. Presumably I sometimes play better and sometimes worse. Not results-wise, EV-wise. So optimal might be like $30/hr. If my lesure time is worth only $15/hr to me then clearly I should play my sub-optimal game very often.

I think this is simple fact. Not picking on you though, I see this "only play your A-game" stuff a lot.

On the other hand if you start spewing like a busted fire hydrant whenever you get up a few buyins you should probably stop.
