I just did what goes against every poker bone in my body and quit a game when I was a solid winner. I absolutely hate doing it because I feel like it is the perfect time to just pound on the people that think you are somehow magically endowed with lucky powers because you are winning, but I don't think my bruised and battered psyche could suffer turning another solid win into a loss as I've been doing far too often. It honestly feels dirty to leave a game in which there is a blatantly horrible player on my direct right who still has cash equivalents in front of him, but I needed to win to make myself feel better.

I also hate doing it because I've been awake less than 6 hours and now have absolutely nothing to do at 2am.

I did this tonight and I don't feel bad about it, bc like you I have had multiple sessions on this swing where I started out winning only to lose alot for the session. When this happens I tend to play worse (tilt) than if I just started losing in the beginning. Also, you need any confidence you can get and you might not play optimally pf trying to protect your win, but if you go back the next day and play another session you will be playing with the confidence of a locked up win.
