Default Re: I hope you are not serious

This is very poor advice. It makes as much sense as playing some rag when you are supposedly on a rush. What has happened in the last hand or sessions(s) had no bearing on what will happen in the future. Sure, we all play better when we are winning as we are psychologiaclly on our A games, but statistically there is no way to determine form past results if any streak we are on will continue into the next session. I respect your posts but this one is voodoo poker.

These comments are correct assuming you are dealing with emotionless human beings. Sucker's advice is based on the assumption that you are not emotionless, that you are capable of tilting (to whatever degree), and that money management is real, not theoretical. If these assumptions are correct, and they are with me, the advice is sound. If, on the other hand, you are robotic by nature and past results have no effect on your current or future behavior, Sucker's advice is admittedly meaningless and useless. I, unfortunately, do not fall into this category.
