Re: If losing, when and why do you stop?
[ QUOTE ]
I'm trying very hard to implement 2 strategies:
1) Don't play people who I think are good unless I'm looking for a challenge. If I play someone for 30 hands or so and can tell they are decent, I'll probably leave the table. Some people may not agree with that, but it's my own personal preference for now. Maybe as I gain more experience/confidence this will change.
2) Quit an opponent if he takes 2BI from you in a session. The cardrunners guys (mostly GP, but sbrugby is trying to start as well) have been preaching this for a while, and I'm trying very hard to implement it myself. Looking through my db so far, my 3 biggest winning days are when I won 3+ BI off of one person, and my 3 biggest losing days are the 3 days I lost the most to one person at one table. So even from my relatively small sample size (30k hands), I think there's some merit to quitting a table after being down a decent bit.

This will be painful to do, but it sounds right. In addition to the reason cited above, I probably start to tilt a little after losing 2 BI to a single opponent. Especially if I think I'm a better player.
