Top set vs. Mid set, allin on flop loses to quads...

Not a bad beat thread...

But I'm about breakeven on the session and allong comes this bad beat. I kinda chuckle and say "I'm fine, I won't tilt here". A little bit later I get a nice double-up and I'm +$100 for the day, not bad right? Back to normal... lets play some untilted poker, wrong. I continued to drop a solid 7.5 buyins before bouncing back to a final of -4 buyins. I did lose to some ridiculous beats, but there were several hands I overplayed including a TPTK(AK) i dropped 3.5K on two top two pair(A8).

Off topic, I did manage to scoop up my first 5-figure pot of my career.

Anyways, my question is... does anyone immediately shutdown their session for the day after a hand like my 88 comes up? I'm playing slightly out of my bankroll so I handle the beats a little harder than a typical 3/6 or 5/10 game. Plus its never fun to have over 2 buyins ripped out of your hands. Anyways, I'd like to hear everyones thoughts... to play or not to play?

only you can answer this question.

edit to say: no most people dont shut down there session after a bad beat. As to whether you should see above.

OFFTOPIC opinion:
AceHI, move down in stakes. Dont play below your bankroll in these games. They are hard and you will have large swings + it will be difficult to come back grinding 600NL or sth so better stop.

TOPIC opinion :
I dont stop. Maybe its because I have rock solid bankroll for 5/10 games.. Sometimes I regret that I didnt stop.
I usually stop when I misread the board or tilt one stack not after bad beats. (Btw I lost to runner's quads too yeasterday [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ).
