----------------------------------- ojisplayin 04.11.2010, 01:30 Nov 2010 Poker Knowledge Closed! Winner Announced! ----------------------------------- WHEN TO QUIT Even if you are the best poker player in the world, you will have some losing days. Knowing when to just call it quits for the session will do you a world of good for your bankroll. Fundamentally though, you should quit because you are tilting, you have played a lot already and risk being tired, or you just have other things to do. _____________________________________________ Some signs that you may be tilting: 1. You always think your opponents are bluffing. 2. You really want to break even for the day. 3. You want to get back into the action as soon as possible. Some signs that you may have just played too much poker: 1. You are falling asleep at the table. 2. You have played more than ten hours for the day. (Never play more than ten hours at any one time. It is better to play many short or medium sessions than a few long ones.) 3. You find it harder to pay attention to your opponents. _____________________________________________ Everyone who posts a reply will be in a random draw for $30. You can add more reasons for quitting, it just might get you some extra PC points!! TERMS FOR WINNING A CASH PRIZE 1- Everyone making a post is entered into this contest. All members that enter will be placed in a drawing where the winner will receive a $30 Prize.

Now that would be kinda funny. I don't ebelieve I have ever played that long. But I have come close to falling asleep at the table but I didn't even start playing till 1 am once. ----------------------------------- anneandalan 05.11.2010, 14:38 ----------------------------------- I know its time for me to go when I try to make marginal hands work - lol ----------------------------------- gjr1961 07.11.2010, 15:20 ----------------------------------- If you have a headache, emotional, or just distracted. If I have a headache, I can't think as well, so I'm not playing my best. Also, if I'm making simple mistakes that you I normally make. I need to pay attention to my emotional state and stop playing if I am taking the loss personally. Sometimes I am too upset or excited about something that happened elsewhere and I keep getting distracted. If I had a winning streak somewhere else, I might be overly confident. ----------------------------------- ojisplayin 08.11.2010, 15:29 ----------------------------------- If you have a headache, emotional, or just distracted.

Time to go!!!! This happens when playing with idiots that go all in a lot even when they have nothing. Of course, in that case, you should leave that table anyway.. Being hungry, too tired or catch yourself making foolish mistakes.... TILT time... and time to go :) Playing online and having major distractions all around you at home... also time to quit for awhile. You cannot play good if you are being constantly distracted. You make very foolish mistakes. Of course, I make a lot of foolish mistakes anyway, so this just magnifies the problem LOL ----------------------------------- crzynana2001 02.12.2010, 05:37 ----------------------------------- bumping to top.... ok, who won?????
