Message: [QUOTE="ph_il, post: 295671, member: 508"] whenever i go to a casino i make sure i do 2 things. 1. i only bring enough money i plan on spending at poker + food and toll. i even keep my ATM at home so i dont get tempted. i usually bring about 200 for casino ($100 buy in) but i try my best not to have to use it. 2. i set a time limit for myself. this rule does vary a bit depending on how i do. i usually set a time limit of maybe 5-6 hours after sitting at a table and after the limit is up, i get up and cash whatever i have. i thinking set up a time limit for myself keeps me from staying at the table trying to win more money and end up losing money. this way i can say to myself "ok you tripled up in 5 hours of play. maybe next time you can make more in the same time. good game, but thats enough." sometimes, though ill have to get up and leave if ive had a big streak of luck and i feel like players are gunning for me or i find myself temped to play the luck streak, ill get up. usually i dont just get up and leave, ill wait for the button to pass me up before i get up. on night were things are going poorly for me, lets say im playing as well i as i can, but i keep getting cold cards or i keep getting bad/unlucky beats then i might decide to leave a bit earlier. ive been at a casino a number of times, sat at table for 3-4 hours and the highest ive gone over with my buy in is $20 - 30 dollars. my chip stack kept decreasing from the blinds and small pot losses, but i never won a big enough pot to bring me up. so in this case i decide on 2 things to do: 1. i wait for the blind to pass me up and if nothing happens i get up and leave. 2. (if im really low stack) ill wait for the double up, then i'll leave. one time i came down to about 40 bucks, waited and waited, finally when i was to about 30 dollars or less i won a nice pot 50+ dollar pot, collected my chips, waited for the blinds, then got up and left. so i only lost about 15 dollars in that game. i think its really important do know when to give up, get up, and come back another day...
