Re: Tilt. Stopping Early.
[ QUOTE ]
Would it then be logical to stop playing every time I'm down a certain amount of money? Does anyone else institute such a system? How many BB's do you lose before you quit?

Don't do this. My session last night was the perfect example why. I played about 750 hands in a few hours. After 200 hands I was even. After 300 hands I was down 10BB. After 500 hands I was down 30BB. After 750 hands I was up 30BB. I never would've made that 60BB swing back into the black if I would've stopper playing because I hit my 30BB stop-loss.
I got more pocket pairs last night than I care to admit - and (w/o looking at PT) I can estimate with great accuraccy that about 70% of those pairs hit a set on the flop. About 80% of those set flops saw big action and my eventual loss on the river. But I wasn't playing bad, tilt wasn't getting in the way and (as you can probably guess) the games were spectacular!
