What are the main reasons for you to end a poker session?

#1 May 29th, 2019, 12:24 PM

This is an issue that will soon post my reasons here but first I would like to know yours.

#2 May 29th, 2019, 3:50 PM

Depends on how much I am up , Amount of Hours ive been at the table or Just the Overall Action at the table.

if Im at a 1/2 and Double my buy in ...Usually if I don't see anymore action after 2 hours I walk. This varies when it comes to 2/5 Because 2/5 there is always action. So usually if my Win/Loss ratio comes into play , If Ive been doing nothing but bleeding chips then I'll get up even though I hate leaving the table down but it keeps me from forking in another buy in and tilting myself.

#3 May 29th, 2019, 3:55 PM

Literally when i feel tiered, or if im having a really bad session

When I'm running like dog****.

Can translate that about 80% of the time to 'when playing on stars'.

#5 May 29th, 2019, 7:07 PM

For me it is only time (it is necessary to sleep sometime What are the main reasons for you to end a poker session?

), and if it is serious that a prize of some sum which seems to me weighty concerning my bankroll. Here should be another reason - the loss of some percentage of the bankroll, but I do not know how to stop - and so once again yesterday merged his bankroll,although it was necessary to end the session when he lost 1/3 of it!

Hello Alaercio. I've already seen you in the pokerstarsschool Brazil forum. Good luck here and be welcome. What are the main reasons for you to end a poker session?

#7 May 29th, 2019, 8:37 PM

When my bankroll is empty What are the main reasons for you to end a poker session?

I only play with freeroll money atm.

#8 May 29th, 2019, 8:49 PM

Usually I stop playing when I'm starting to feel tired. You can't make good decisions at the poker table when you are sleepy. I usually play late at night so its easy for me to end my sessions because its usually past time for me to go to sleep.

#9 May 29th, 2019, 9:48 PM

Well it can be for the time I've been playing, if it's hours I stop, also depending on the good or bad run you have, sometimes even if you're very good at playing cards are not on your side, at that time a couple of games and if nothing I better retire a couple of days. What are the main reasons for you to end a poker session?

#10 May 29th, 2019, 10:02 PM

Bankroll empty and bad session

#11 May 29th, 2019, 10:25 PM

Normally if I'm on a cash table, it is time restricted. Other reason would be my game is off that day. I don't mind playing on a losing session as long as there reads are right. If i'm getting sucked out, it is just part of the game.

#12 May 29th, 2019, 10:36 PM

I walk when I lost my buy in limit. If I walk up then it usually went I have a feeling I�ve lost momentum, table broke, too many new player or I had a hot run and feel it could be awhile before I get premium hands

#13 May 29th, 2019, 11:07 PM

Normally if the table is too tight and can't seem to get hands, or if I'm all around doing bad (tilting), I will end my poker session and will not return until I have cooled down.

#14 May 29th, 2019, 11:21 PM

Usually because I need sleep to go to work . Unfortunately I don't have what it takes to be a pro , so I still have to work for a living .

#15 May 29th, 2019, 11:55 PM

When I start making mistakes. Usually, tired or hungry. If I like the table, I try to minimize breaks and play until I start to lose it mentally.

#16 May 30th, 2019, 12:13 AM

I really try to leave once i've doubled what I sat with. But that rarly happens......lol. Usually down a bit.

#17 May 30th, 2019, 9:30 AM

It's going to depend on what happened during my session. But you have to take breaks anyway to have a cool mind in the face of important draws.

#18 May 30th, 2019, 9:56 AM

I like to end my poker session when I believe I have earned my government check. It probably doesn't matter but it helps me to stay on-line. There are a lot of factors involved. Like getting rid of hard players so the donkey can win and BSing so the table believes its something worth fighting for. The players get a little scared but when you show up for your restaurant work, weather a patron eating or a waiter or dishwasher, they seem to cash in by the meal they eat. Remember waiters and dishwashers can win too. I do this at Bellisios in Duluth, Minnesota. At least it seems to help it rain.

#19 May 30th, 2019, 11:07 AM

Hi.
Normally, I stop playing when I feel that I am very emotional when I have a bad mood or when I am tired. In other cases, poker brings me pleasure.

#20 May 30th, 2019, 11:16 AM

Fatigue, loss of concentration, boredom.

#22 May 30th, 2019, 3:50 PM

Well it seems everyone stops for the same reasons...lack of sleep, more sleep, bad runs, tilting, and lost bankroll. Yep pretty much says it all. I am all of these.

#23 May 30th, 2019, 4:23 PM

Hello.
Everything is simple. When I am tired and I want to sleep I stop playing.

I finish my poker session when I feel tired or when I feel like I'm playing badly

#26 May 30th, 2019, 7:44 PM

I play single table tournaments and my session ends when I play the required number of tournaments! I can finish earlier only if I feel not in optimal condition

#27 May 30th, 2019, 8:37 PM

1- I'm not playing well
2- I'm tired
3- I achieved my goal within the specific session

#28 May 30th, 2019, 9:46 PM

Number 1 reason ....

Went Busto ....

#29 May 30th, 2019, 10:24 PM

I usually stop when I am running really bad and seems that the bad beats are going to keep going. also when I am really tire and feeling like a dog do to all the bad beats. I also end up my sessions early if all the tournaments I sign up for are done or I am either busted.

#30 May 30th, 2019, 11:09 PM

Online, I vary my time span; usually play while my bankroll is still there, and I'm not on a really bad run of luck.

Live, weekly friendly game.its a set time: after, 2 hours, we have the last hand, limits off, anything goes.

#31 May 31st, 2019, 2:02 AM

Double up or go broke.

#32 May 31st, 2019, 6:22 AM

Then, when I'm very tired or when I feel that I'm making mistakes and starting to lose. At this point, I just do not play to rest and, with new forces and light intelligence, start playing again.

#33 May 31st, 2019, 1:03 PM

For me, the main factor in this issue is playing time, this is advice given to me by strong players who play plus. Because winning or losing should not affect the time in the game.
An exception is the situation when at the table you see very weak players who �give� you money. This is about cash games.
When I play in a tournament, everything is limited by the schedule of distances per month, which means 4 tables per day for mtt/10 tables per day for sng.

#34 May 31st, 2019, 1:05 PM

When I get bored

#35 May 31st, 2019, 1:43 PM

I usually finish the game when the tournament ends !!! if I play not a tournament then when I feel tired then I finish the game !!!

#36 May 31st, 2019, 4:00 PM

When playing at cash tables I will leave that table when I have won or lost a certain % of what I brought to the table. That way I never get hurt that bad and if winning I do leave with some $$-- To many times I have extended my stay at a table and have lost all I won plus some. Once I reach that % Iwill move to another table.

Just what words for me. What are the main reasons for you to end a poker session?

#37 June 2nd, 2019, 10:14 PM

My reasons for completing poker session is:

1) Fatigue

2) The tilde

#38 June 2nd, 2019, 10:35 PM

Bankroll empty or fatigue

or both

haha

#39 June 2nd, 2019, 10:48 PM

I always stop playing when my bank manager phones or knocks on my door with a rather worried look on his face. What are the main reasons for you to end a poker session?

Seriously though,
When I�m tired and need my beauty sleep (yes, need a lot of that now). What are the main reasons for you to end a poker session?

When I have lost my buy-in (I rarely reload).
And sometimes, when I have had two or three monster hands, run down in quick succession with rubbish. I say �yea right� and hit the exit button. What are the main reasons for you to end a poker session?

Actually, my bank manager is a friend and is always good to me (got to say that, haven�t I). I only play for entertainment and the levels that I play, does not worry the bank manager or me.

#40 June 3rd, 2019, 4:39 PM

Run out of vodka.

#41 June 3rd, 2019, 5:30 PM

I quit when the deck turns against me we have all been there when your playing and you know the other guy is going to get there no matter what What are the main reasons for you to end a poker session?

#42 June 3rd, 2019, 6:17 PM

I stop playing if I have several losses in a row.

#43 June 3rd, 2019, 6:33 PM

Generally stop if that tilting feeling pops up its head.

#44 June 3rd, 2019, 9:42 PM

Ending of the all MTTs, which I entered...

#45 June 5th, 2019, 11:51 AM

You can have several different reasons like:

1. You are tired
2. You are tilted
3. You lost too much money already
4. You won some money and do not want to loose them
5. You have anything else that needs to be done

I personally play in the evenings after work so in most cases my reason to stop is that i am tired and i need to go to sleep so that i can get up in the morning to go to work. What are the main reasons for you to end a poker session?

#46 June 5th, 2019, 12:10 PM

playing tired is usually no go for me though sometimes i do anyway then.... lol. basically end a session if ur not running well after a few tries or dont play when you�re tired. good luck!

#47 June 5th, 2019, 12:17 PM

If you notice the following actions:

Play more hands than usual.
You often bluff without good reason (both preflop and postflop).
Feel hopeless that you can not win a single bank.
Make bad calls on the river, knowing that you need to fold.
That chances are that you are in tilte. In this case, you need to immediately terminate the session.

Trying to keep playing with gritted teeth will usually be a bad idea for most people and can turn into even greater losses. You simply will not have a clear logical thinking, you will play C, D or even F-game.

If it seems to you that you are tilting, then most likely the way it is.

Cover the tables immediately. The game won't get anywhere from you if you come back tomorrow.

#48 June 6th, 2019, 1:20 AM

There are times I play so many hours a day that my head starts to hurt ... I suppose I should be thinking so much so I realize that it is time to close

#49 June 10th, 2019, 6:29 AM

When the table goes bad, or when I'm no longer able to play a good enough game to beat the table.

#50 June 10th, 2019, 10:18 AM

1. If I am sick.

4. If I want to sleep.
