Message: [QUOTE="AlexTheOwl, post: 3910811, member: 269625"] People do all kinds of things that they know are bad for them - smoke cigarettes, drink too much, eat poorly, play while on tilt. It's hard to stop. The two quotes above represent the two options. The most reliable is to set a rule that you will stop after winning or losing a certain amount. The most profitable, but the hardest to achieve, is to make a rule to ask yourself frequently why you are still in this game. You have a large profit or a large loss, but you are playing well, and you are more skilled than some of the other players at the table? Great, keep playing that way. You are making silly plays because you think you are rich or "on a hot streak", or because you are on tilt or trying to make up for losses? Take a break. [/QUOTE]
