Default Re: Winning and losing sessions

I have the same problem.

Some steps I do to change this is:

-play on different poker sites. This is the main one I think. Spread your money around so you have separate bankrolls. So if you run good at one site, leave it and go play another site (rinse/wash/repeat). I have my money spread across a few sites, and I know if I experience this hit-n-run session then I can always play another session somewhere else.

-Play many short sessions. ie. your up a lot, then you'll probably stop. Wait a few hours, evaluate, then start again. I usually play about 2 500 hand sessions or so, depending on how my game is going.

And, try to really avoid watching the cashier button. I know it's difficult but try and stop looking at it. (I can take some advice here too, I need to stop checking mine!).
