Default Something about the psychological aspect NLCASH

I'll play heads up mostly. I've played about 8 months now. I think i've learned the game relatively fast and i am a winning player but i was intrested in asking u about how u know when u had enough for one evening and decide to quit. I dont mean that you have lost much or you may even have won. And other thing. I get those freakin glimpses sometimes. I know when im beat but i call anyway. Like the board is Jh 10h 8h. I bet 1/3, he raises, i think its a bluff so i reraise 3 times the raise and he moves all in. Opponent raised preflop. I instacall with my freakin j7o. I would never make that call when playing my best. I think good players always have principles how to deal with these kind of issues, handling themselves. Mostly i play well, when i decide to at the beginning of the match. But how can u permanently get away from those stupid calls and freakin glimpses.

HU can be pretty draining, I'd just keep my sessions short and clock out when my session time is done (I'd say I usually like to play for 45mins-1hr at a time).. it's hard to keep up your A game with long sessions, especially if you're stuck a couple buy-ins early.. I can see merit and just quitting for the day and doing something else if you feel you're playing bad.. there's always another day.

I type in chat: brb in 4mins, and going smoke away from computer on purpose.
1 cigarette makes me fresh again, no matter how bad I am running or making stupid mistakes. I come back with twice strength and opponents usually don't expect it. I type in chat again: let's dance darling and usually they let me lead all the way until they "lose&run" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
