When we play our poker sessions, there are good sessions and bad sessions, good winning sequences or bad tilting sequences. As we gather more and more experience we can decide easier when to end our session, whatever that is good or bad. What is more difficult for you to find when to end a bad session or to find when to end a good session?

My biggest leak used to be that I couldn't accept a losing session.

I could sit for days (yes, plural) and play to get even.

I guess my ego was too big when I was younger.

Logically I knew it was stupid but it is a form of tilt to chase you losses.

Remember to look at poker as one long session.

It's easier to walk away from a good session. Reason being, when a lot of us go into a cash game, we have a goal set in our minds. Once we reach or surpass this goal, it is easy to walk away. For me, I try to walk away from the table and switch tables if I am having a losing session to try to change it up. This has worked for me.

I have a good session is to win a big Bank say so if I play the table 0.5$ - 0.10$ sit down with 10$ the Bank should be from 30$ - to 40$ then I finish the session. I have no bad inclination. I just lose$ 10 and finish. I call it a Marathon on the way to building a bankroll. So with any amount from $5 to$500.

I don't lose - I win )

If you play cash games you can set a number of hands to play in that session and just stop when you hit that number. Win or lose.
With mtts just stop regging anymore after a certain point.. depanding on your time.

I play poker 4-5 hours a day. And it does not matter if the session was successful or not. After 4-5 hours of play in a row, I finish the game anyway.

in any case, even if my session was bad I won’t be very upset
the next session should be better, and for this I am preparing myself mentally.

It is easy for me to end the poker session whether it is good or bad, but after that, I sit down and analyze what happened.
