Re: How do you determine to stop playing poker for the DAY?
I usually start any poker session off my losing 1-2 buyins within 1/2 hour, then I get up to +2-3 buyins in the next 2 hours, then I either quit while I'm ahead or just play on until 5 am, get sleepy and unfocused and start cold calling pf 3bets with JTo and lose back down to even. But sometimes I run goot and then something comes up, like sex or dinner or something I can use as an excuse to quit while I'm up. This happens enough to make it worth my time to play.

I finish playing for any given calendar day when the clock strikes midnight.

Re: How do you determine to stop playing poker for the DAY?
Eventually my eyes start bleeding because I don't blink enough and my contacts dry out.
I usually call it quits about then, unless I'm stuck.

Re: How do you determine to stop playing poker for the DAY?
I like that line. But does that mean I'm a degenerate if I can't stop at midnight because I'm stuck, and what to get as close to even as possible?
I don't think I would have a problem stopping at midnight if i'm up. The old line use to be play when the tables stops being good at a regular B&M. So you take all that time to go to the card room/vegas, and you don't want to play just a few orbits and stop. But with Online, its so easy find another game, especially if you're multi-tabling. Finding the point of when enough is enough for the day, is my biggest challenge. Even though I know tomorrow is just another login away, it still pretty rough to find a balance...

[/ QUOTE ] yes being "up" or "down" doesn't matter. its one big game, just keep good records and look at 'up" and "down" over a longer period of time. you will do better to play well rested and alert and the bottom line will show it. playing while compromised, just to try to erase a daily minus is just a bad idea. shut it down and get em tomorrow.
