Re: When to stop?
well in poker you have to be somewhat results oriented since we are inevitably all trying to win $
but I am not worried about whether im winning or losing, i never play anywhere near underrolled. what im searching for is at somepoint during a session where you've been playing well and winning, there has to be something responsible for those extra last 100 hands that always seem to cost you $, regardless of if your down 3 buyins but especially if your up 6-15. how do you identify the point where things are starting to flatten or turn down, and how do you quit?

Re: When to stop?
Just make a list of conditions to play under
1. Games are good (normally are at uNL) 2. You are good (not tired/drunk, etc) 3. Tilt factor (this depends on each person individually) If the games are good, you are ok to play (meaning that you also want to and wont lose focus), and you arent on tilt.. playplayplay

Re: When to stop?
stop if you feel like your stack at the table is too big to be comfortable for you. if you're scared of playing 250BB pots, yeah, you can probably step away.

Re: When to stop?
i usually stop playing whenever i start losing focus, or feel like doing somethign else, which is ususally after 45mins-1.5hour or so.
if i feel like im not thinking through situations properly i usually just quite straight away, even if its only been like 10mins.

Re: When to stop?
SSDEX...
I kinda know what your feeling. I have felt that way before. I think its almost natural that you run into a hand and it just feels [censored] so you stop. If I have a session of 1k hands and am up 5buyins and I run AA into a set to end it and lose a buyin, I am probably stopping. Just since it just feels dirty. Not so much for losing the buyin, just because mentally I feel like the session is wrapping up anyways. But each action is independent of the others. That same session ending hand would just start the next one. I believe that it all averages out in the end due to number of hands played. Personally I just set hand/time goals, and after each period, I will reeval how I am feeling and stop or continue on. That way I get a break after the set time/hands. But if I am feel that tilt/playin bad feeling I hit the main X on fulltilt and then yes to each table to close no matter whats going on. Had to do that last week [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
