So I used to play a lot of cash games online. And I noticed a trend Im sure a lot of you have seen. So I start out with $20 or so. run my stack up to $35 or $40. then WHAM. I hit the wall. you know the wall? The point where things start to spiral out of control. Well, maybe not even spiral. Just to the point where I hit my climax. Where I peaked in terms of winning for the session. I don't realize it but I continue to play and go back down to $15 or so.
That happened really frequently when I used to play cash. I'm talking 75% of the time. So I am kinda permanently stung by it. I just played a very small .05/10c cash game and started with $4. It was the first time I have played a cash game in 3 or 4 months. I worked it up to $11 then it hit me. "I'm going to lose this money if i don't quit". But the thing is I have only been playing 5-10 minutes and I am playing well so I don't want to quit. But I know if I keep playing eventually i'm going to go broke when I hit that *destined to go broke* hand. You know? The hands like QQ or something when I run into AA preflop.
So my question to you all is when to quit? When do i know when I have peaked in terms of chip stack and its time to get out? Do I even look at my stack amount to determine it? I hope someone can help me with this because when I am playing and it REALLY is bothering me when I am up. Its like this constant broken record voice in the back of my mind sayin "get out.. get out". This problem is lingering severely.
