Default Re: Getting crushed on stars lately..what point do you call it quits?

As you guys know, this game can be very taxing mentally at times and yesterday was certainly one of those days. I really like the advice about being honest with yourself b/c that’s what it really comes down to. Knowing when you're tilted, or not playing optimally is a huge aspect of poker to consider and not something that I follow when I’m chasing losses. It’s like I turn into a different person and whatever edge I had over these players becomes nil, but I keep playing and then it turns into “emotional poker”. I start to rationalize plays I’m making by saying to myself ”this guy sucked out on me so I’m going call his raises with any two and get him” and other similar nonsense that puts me on a one-way street to nowhere…

I know you guys go through this type of stuff to so thanks for the advice/comments.
