Or do you play a set number of games or hours?

As long as I'm not going on tilt and I think I'm a odds-on favorite, I'll keep playing as long as I have time.

"Or do you play a set number of games or hours?"

Games/hrs = the same. I know that XX sngs will take ~x hrs. Eg 40 sngs will take around 4 hrs.

As for profits losses, kind of. If I suffer a terrible dozen to start with, I'll play through it. If it continues I'll usually take a break.

Average = keep playing. Tend to want a break after I've just done really well (today eg first 8 for the day = four 1sts and four 2nds) I'll take a break until I settle down again.

Lol I'm still behind my ev for the last couple of days though, would need a couple more 1sts to bring me back to ev.

if i lose 10k in a day i try to take at LEAST a 5 minute break before i load up a 5k on stars. that way i am only on 3/4 tilt instead of full tilt. holla

I play whenever I want or until the money is gone.

If I'm losing and unhappy about it I might play another game, usually at a lower buyin, and maybe until I win back what I lost or something like that.

By nature, I'm more likely to want to play until I'm up and possibly quit after a win. I used to be horrible about this and would play until sunrise in order to get even. I'm over that now. I think.

im serious i dont mean desperation step 5s /images/graemlins/grin.gif


i quit sngs, i play 400-600 6max. when i move up to the 1000 i generally play much better, not being too loose and not paying people off as much. i do have the bankroll for it, sorta. i have the BR to take a couple shots and still have plenty left for the mid limit games. im not really rolled or ready for the 1k though.

i just play better when more money is at stake. this is much different than being frustrated and playing too high just trying to make something happen. this is when ive been playing sloppy, autopiloting too much, not on mega gorilla tilt.

Yeah I have the same stop loss....

That or 15 buy ins. Although two days ago I lost 20 buyins without noticing, so that didn't work well.

I 4-table and aim for about 30 tournaments a day when I play. Sometimes when I drink coffee and don't take a break I may play some more /images/graemlins/ooo.gif
