Upon further review, the single biggest leak I have is playing "too long". I'll be waaaaaay up (say 2-3x my buy-in). And slowly, but surely I'll give most of it back finishing up "only" 25-50%.
How does this happen? First I do NOT want to "stop when I'm ahead" and waste a good thing. Using PT to review individual sessions. As the session progresses I get up and start playing more and more hands pushing my VP$IP up and up. I lose any semblence of "respect" for the other players at the table.
SO, I use the PT stats with mine displayed. If my VP$IP starts to rise over 25% I tighten up or change tables. This has helped at PP a bunch.
