Question for B&M pros

[chopstick]

[quote Sounds good. I think if you lose 3 buy-ins at 3-6 it's probably not your day and go home. I guess my question is more focused on NL. For example, I play mostly 2-5 NL and always buy in full. Say I get Aces cracked all-in pre-flop the first hand. Than lose another buy-in with set over set 20 minutes later. I as a beginner in this full time poker job am curious as to how the more experienced players would handle the situation. Do you bring many buy-ins and stay to play or do you pack up and call it a day?

The "should I end the session" question has nothing to do with losing two buyins within an arbitrary amount of time. Both of the things you describe are going to happen, why does it matter how near or far apart the events are? Is the above any different to you than losing a buyin on your last hand of session A due to cracked aces, then losing the very first hand of session B the next time you play to set/oset? If so, it's time to start plugging leaks, of which tilt (and possibly superstition) is probably the most likely.

Just keep repeating to yourself: It's all just one big session.

And bring 3-4 buyins.
