Default Re: The psychology of protecting wins

[ QUOTE ]
and then stop my session short, like after an hour or so. I know logically this is stupid - if you are winning, it's the worst time to quit, because you probably a) are playing well, b) have good table image, c) are at a profitable table.

It's only an hour.

a) You may only be running well.
b) Table image is dictated by action recieved.
c) It's only an hour it may not be a profitable table just because you're on a good run.

a & c you should be able to decipher regardless of whether how you are doing during a session.

Is there any other advice someone can give me to counter this problem? I fele like my growth as a poker player is stunted by my inability to acquire more experience/hands, more confidence, and more bankroll, and I don't want to be stuck at 5/10 forever.

Develop discipline. If you're going to make any real money you'll have to develop it.
