Default Re: \"Self Exclusion\" and until when

[ QUOTE ]
I play SNGs casually but my older brother plays them alot more, enough to make a pretty decent amount of money on the side. Recently I witnessed him go through a ridiculous disgusting downswing, where he got outdrawn or coolered for a very long stretch, and I was amazed at how composed and calculated he remained and eventually he played through it.

If I lose a few BIs I get pretty pissed and stop playing. I couldn't believe how someone I was related to could drop 30+ and carry on joking and trusting his game enough that he would break through it. I was sweating his tables and I was getting more pissed off than he was when he took a bad beat, so much so I couldn't watch, yet he carried on, dropped down a level or two and then kept taking shots at the higher stake games, inevitably lost so dropped down again, until eventually he racked up some decent results.

This is poker and bankroll management at it's finest.
