Re: How many buy-ins must you lose before calling it quits for the day
i dont have one, but ill take a short break if i drop 5-7. doesnt mean im done for the day though.
just a month ago i lost 5.5 buyins in the afternoon. played again at night and made 9. i used to be worthless if I was down > $10k, but i have gotten much more comfortable with it and can still play good +EV poker. the best thing to do however is to just not look at the cashier or PT to see what you are at for the day. i have stopped doing this altogether during a session. nothing good has ever come from it.

Re: How many buy-ins must you lose before calling it quits for the day
My record is losing 17 buyins tilting while playing NL100 on 20 tables at the same time. (-1780$ for a 5h session). But nowadays I usually stop if I lose over 6-8 buyins.
My style of play can be very swingy, so even an 8 buyin loss sometimes may not mean tilt (it usually does though). The thing is, I can take advantage if my "tilt image" and win it all back really fast, cause after I lose a lot of buyins people give me more action cause they think im on tilt, and i usually am, but if I can control my gamble urge and try to inteligently exploit the image, it can become a very profitable momemnt, so sometimes I keep on playing even after losing a lot.

[/ QUOTE ] I meant the specifically dollar related win stats, I avoid looking at ptbb/100, hourly rate, etc. I generally don't have much use for VPIP/pfr/aggression stats, I have found that even when I am playing awfully those stats stay fairly constant, my vpip has never left the 20-22 range and my pfr has never left hte 10-12 range. I guess w$sd might change, but it is probably not significant over the short term.

[ QUOTE ] I've managed to stop looking at PT win stats too often [/ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] go a week or more without looking [/ QUOTE ] I don't get it either. While I'm playing I have my PT stats open and visible on my 2nd monitor so I can see what my VP$P, hands played, pfr, and $ won looks like. And it updates every 3 minutes. If I'm down big it gives me a challenge to play smart(er) and make a comeback. If I'm up it gives me confidence and my decisions are way easier. And also, how can you not look at neteller/cashier for 1 week? I'm too paranoid someone's gonna steal my money so I check everything at least once/day.

The other day I started my session massive tilting for the 3rd time this month (I don't get why I've done this so often this month but anyway). I was stuck 6 buy ins at the 1k's and ended the night down $700 (at one point up $3000).
