Default Re: take a brake o continue playing

If your mind isnt right then take a break and come back refreshed. If you continue playing, then tighten up a lot. Since you had won so much, you might have loosened up without noticing it because you were running good.

Often when I win a lot of money in a day I find myself playing like a donk later on just because I can afford to, then a few bad beats happen, and I'm nearly back to where I started and wondering why I just didn't logoff when I was way ahead.

This is what I do during my downswings, maybe you can do it too:
During my downsings I always try to tighten up, for me that means flopping some sets and folding overpairs if the boards are too scary and there's too much action. Don't be willing to go broke with just one pair. I also giveup on straight draws altogether. I do still play flush draws but only if I am getting proper odds to call and only if I am in good position and there wasn't a big raise preflop.

Hope this helps, and goodluck at the tables.
