Here are some obvious red flags that will say when it's time to pack it in;
You're becoming emotionally unstable and on the edge of 'tilting'
You are trying way too hard to break even for the day before you quit
You are too eager to get back into the action and are not patient to wait for a reasonable hand
You think your opponents are constantly bluffing
You've played for more than ten hours for the day
You are having trouble concentrating because you are distracted by sleep, alcohol, something on your mind, etc.
Overall, though, if your game seems to be falling fast, it's time for a breather. Though your ego might hurt a little, your head, your bankroll and your overall reputation will be much better off. |
Very good rules. I had my days full of bad beats and if you don't know when to stop you might lose all of the past 3 weeks winnings in a single day. Then you'll feel like a total loser and say for yourself: " why i didn't stop? The cards were agains me."
So the best rule i use is : " Only play maximum 15-20% of your stack in a day."
If you use this rule you can be confident that you'll have succes. Also if you break ityou will have difficulties to stop.
