What is the best time to stop playing games?

[ppartizan2]

I just stop playing when I lose the interest in playing, often times Im just tired. After 3 hours of playing it really takes a toll on you mentally.

In my case, the best time to stop playing poker is when I can achieve my goals, win a big tournament or reach a million dollars in profits

When you are unable too win that sign you need to stop playing

There are many reasons for leaving the game.
For example, if you're tired or distracted, cannot concentrate, that's time to leave.
Or if you're tilting it's leaving time also.

The best time to stopplaying is when youre winning, because the good streak will end and youll start loosing.

Thinking about stopping after tripling or doubling can work if you're at a real money table, tripling or doubling in tournaments helps you implement your strategies to the fullest and make the most of your chips.

I think you should stop when you feel like you're not playing at a good level, at least you have to be able to give your 80%. This may be due to fatigue or loss.

nếu bạn đang nói về trò chơi tiền mặt thì

1) bạn nên rời khỏi bàn khi bạn nhân đôi, vì khi đó bạn chơi sâu và trò chơi sẽ diễn ra khác đi. Hãy tưởng tượng bạn có 200BB và bạn giữ KK, anh chàng cũng deep 200BB và anh ta all-in, bạn gọi anh ta là bạn có KK, anh ta có AK và flop là Axx
vậy là bạn đang thua gấp đôi số tiền mua vào bằng một tay

2) nếu bạn cảm thấy mệt mỏi và bắt đầu chơi khác với mức bình thường

I quit the table when x2 or 3 stacks in the cash game,

Thời điểm tốt nhất để ngừng chơi là khi bạn đang thắng, vì chuỗi trận tốt sẽ kết thúc và bạn sẽ bắt đầu thua.

Yes, I like it

When you notice in time that poker has a destructive impact on your life and the life of your loved ones.

 

[markdias]

When you are very tired and out of patience, when you feel that your game is not flowing...

Talking about cash games, I agree with the stop loss strategy.

When we are losing a lot, it is better to take a break, organize our mind.

I also agree that there should not be a limit on earnings that makes us stop. In this case, I only stop playing when I'm tired.

The best time to stop playing games is when you are tired and bored of losing too much to refocus.

 

[Igor Popadyk]

if you play cash, then as long as there are players at the table whom you can beat, you should play because no one is immune from bad beats even if you lost a couple of stacks, but if you don’t see weak players, then you shouldn’t play if you won a big jackpot right away, you shouldn’t leave either, then with they don't want to play with you

 

[Mr_Cloud]

Ok, I guess I wasn't very precise (my English is not so good as i wish)

Let's assume that with KK you have 75%, i.e. 3:1

Let's assume there is no rake

You win a stack of 100BB 3 times = 300BB
and you will lose this one if you are 200BB deep and not 100BB when playing not deep

300BB - 200BB = 100BB (win)
insted of
300BB-100BB = 200BB (win)

What I meant was that if you play too deep you are breaking the rules of your bankroll management which should be a priority in my opinion.
Moreover, playing deep involves more difficult decisions, and you need to know exactly what you are doing

This is the best post I see so far and I think deep stack play. Can be a lot of fun also

The optimal moment to end a poker session is a nuanced decision. Ideally, it's when you're mentally sharp and decisions are well-calculated. Signs to stop include fatigue, distraction, or emotional swings impacting play. When profits or losses significantly deviate from your session goals, it's prudent to pause. Additionally, concluding on a positive note, especially after a significant win, ensures a satisfying end, reinforcing a positive association with the game. Knowing when to quit is a skill; it preserves bankroll, mental well-being, and overall enjoyment of the poker journey.

Trying to continue playing while gritting your teeth will usually be a bad idea for most people and can result in even greater losses. You simply will not have clear logical thinking. Close the tables immediately. The game will not escape you if you return tomorrow.

 

[Funtast]

Start when you planned to start. Stop when you planned to stop. Simple as that.

 

[hexplore35]

The best time to stop playing is when you lose AA 3 times at row

 

[ghitocarcia]

When one begins to feel tired and begins to stop showing an optimal game, and also when one does not have a clear mind free of concerns unrelated to the game, one needs to enter the game with a clear mind to achieve good results, although it is not always possible. since the variance exists

 

[john_entony]

I often hear that if you lose big and tilt, you should leave the table immediately. But many people also say that if you double up or triple up, you should stop. They also agree that you should stop when you get tired and are no longer in your best condition. When is the best time to quit the game in your opinion?

If we're talking about cash games, it's best to leave the table after you've double your starting bankroll. I think this is the most optimal timing. Later you can sit at the table again, but with the money you have already won. It's easier to play psychologically.

u should never play any games, this games are rigged.

 

[Cooking]

I think all your answers may be right. The first one is essential, when you're on tilt it's always best to leave the game before you ended up losing more money than you should. The third also is right for me, when you're tired, it's time to leave. The second option you mentioned, I think it depends of the player's feeling. 3x of your buy in is a ok profit, but if you see there are many weak opponents, maybe it's a good idea to play more.

The best time to stop playing is when you do not feel like playing anymore or if you no longer feel like you have an "edge".

If you are playing MTTs the best time to stop is when you are done with a set.

 

[vitas_top]

I believe that as soon as the game is no longer fun, you should stop playing and play again only after a break and you want to play again. Unless, of course, poker is your main place of work.
