Try not to judge your performance based on just one night's worth of play. I fall into that trap once in a while and it's not the ideal way to go about it. Even if you are 4 tabling you're only going to play maybe 300 hands an hour, tops. Over the course of a 3 hour session you will have what, 800-900 hands? Variance is such that you really don't want judge your performance based on just a few hands like that.
I used to play way past what should have been my stopping point, only because I was down a bit for the night and wanted to get back to even before leaving. What ends up happening is (unless I get stupid lucky) I lose more than if I would have just stopped at my normal time and hit the sack. About the only time you should really play on beyond your normal 'breaking' time is if you are on the juiciest of juicy tables, and feel that even with your capacity somewhat diminished you are still making better decisions than most of the table.
Of course, YMMV.Statistics: Posted by JDLush — Fri Mar 31, 2006 8:04 am
