Re: Round figure syndrome
I used to do the same thing, but then I read one of Negreanu's articles about playing hours instead of results. I think that's the best way to play, because I'm rarely worried about where my money's at. I'm more worried about the correct decision at any given moment.
However, if a game is really good, I might decide to stay longer... but I always decide on an amount of time, like one or two more hours. I don't decide to stay until I'm up some certain amount. Also, if I'm getting beaten down, I might take a 30min break to clear my mind, and complete my total hours later when my mind isn't scarred by a few bad beats.
