Default Re: Round figure syndrome

I must first admit that I thought this post was going to be about some sort of health thing (Such as I have 'Round Figure' meaning I am overweight and need help), so for that I laugh at myself.

Next I have to agree with the previous advice that considers all of poker one big game that never ends so it doesn't matter if I won or lost on my previous hand.

I also agree that you should stay at the table so long as it is +EV for you and -EV for you opponents. This means, if you get tired, tough players arrive, or the bad player(s) leave, quit!

On the issue of counting money - one should follow Kenny's advice if counting his or her chips makes one change his or her play. (Ex: Some people get tight-weak when they realize they are ahead)

My final recommendation is to set a time limit for play. Either in terms of hours or in number of hands played. That way you have a predetermined stopping point and don't have to think about when you want to quit.

Good luck.
