Default How many buy-ins must you lose before calling it quits for the day?

Assuming you all play with a minimum of 20 buyins of the stakes you play at, how many buy ins must you drop in a day for you to just "X" out and call it quits to avoid tilting and losing bigtime.

The biggest loss I have ever had in a night was 6.5 buy ins and I regret not stopping earlier. After reviewing my play of that night I noticed that after a certain point I was making extremely weak-tight plays that cost me pots left and right. Had I stopped after my 3rd buyin perhaps I wouldn't have dropped so much.

But what is YOUR personal limit?

Thanks guys

Just when i am sick of it. Last night was the worst night I have ever had. I just said, I'm playing horrible, I am jumping up limits to get it back, and I cannot win tonight, quit now. I did. Fortunately I am rarely in a position like this. I guess to answer the original question, I don't keep track of buyins. Its when I am sick of it.

I should clarify that. 60 BB's in LHE.

I've never lost more than 3 buy ins in NL so I couldnt say what my max would be.



It's late, Tex is tired.
