The psychology of protecting wins

[jskills]

I kind of have the same problem. I have a very similar situation to yours with the commute, work, and kids, etc.

I think the issue is that we are emotionally affected by session based results. Going to sleep after a winning session feels good to me - better than it should really. Conversely, going to bed after a losing session just feels plain filthy. I have worked very hard on my mindset and seeing that it is all one big session of course, and over time it is getting better.

The hit and run sessions are good for your ego, but not for your bankroll in the long run. If you've ever experienced a long session where you lost a lot, why can't you have a long session where you've won a lot?

BTW - I am trying to break into 3/6, so don't feel so bad about being "stuck at 5/10" [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
