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. [/ QUOTE ] I said this a while back and ppl said i was silly. These days i take it further and i go a week or more without looking. |

[/ QUOTE ] I've managed to stop looking at PT win stats too often, now I actually check my ptbb every 5K hands or usually more rather than waaay too often, but I still open up the cashier window every 30 minutes, mostly because I hate it when big losses sneak up on me and all of a sudden I'm down 150bb from losing a string of small pots in a row, and I actually think I'm just down a little bit. |

[/ QUOTE ] know what you mean, lots of small pots can be deceptive. In fact the only number i regularly check now is the USD GBP exchange rate, its quite good lately. |

[/ 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. |

Once I lose around 5-6 buyins I realize I'm playing [censored] and thus I take a 5 minute break before moving up to higher stakes to make money back faster. This plan is fullproof. Q.E.D. [/ QUOTE ] You sir, are my hero |

it depends. if you're playing well and it isn't changing your decision making processs, then it really shouldn't matter. if you're not playing well, or you are tilting, it should.

[ 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. What the hell is the problem with looking at your stats ? [/ QUOTE ] |

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. [/ QUOTE ] Good post. I've finally gotten to this point. 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). |
