I mean, stop playing for a moment: to calm down and "get out of luck" on the computer / cell phone.
In my opinion, for some it is very difficult to know when to stop, I say because this is one of my negative points. And I think it is essential that the player knows and puts in practice a moment of "stress". If you can give a tip and / or tell your positive and negative experiences in that context, thank you

What a good question. And my answer would be: .......... NO. And if in fact this is my problem. I start to accelerate even more and lose in the process. But this has another plus. having lost everything, I just have no choice and I start to take a break from the game

You should quit when you dont feel like playing or when you dont feel you have an edge.

This is actually one of my weaknesses wich usually leads to breaking the bankrol management rule, but im hopefull one day i will overcome it.

Hi xexeu
My method for avoiding to play continuously after a bad hand or stopping me playing feeling stressed is this:
I said to myself that I have to write every single game that I want to play in the notebook before that game starts. (I have to write the name of the platform where the game is held, date, time, what is the buy-in (or not, if it is a freeroll). After I finish that game (for whatever reason) I have to write down the hand with which the game ended (mine and opponents), what was the time when the game ended, how many players left and my rank in the game (if it was the tournament) and sometimes some observations and reminders for future games.
It is not as complicated as it maybe look. And it is very effective for me , to stop me from headlessly run into games without good composure, patience and feeling relaxed.
If I have no patience to write down those simple facts, than I should not play the game at that moment. So I don't.
This is a simple principle that I follow, and so far, it saved me from "going down the drain"
(And yes, I noted every single game that I ever played )
Cheers!

In most cases, I can't stop at the time. When I succeed, I am very happy with myself. I have a lot of stress in my life, so it's hard for me to control myself. This is especially noticeable recently, because for me it is an important aspect of life. Thank you for this useful topic.

I learned that Pro poker players also take a break sometimes when they suffer bad beats and not playing well. Now it is easier for me to do the same thing and use my time away from the table to study and get better.

I always play as much time as I want to play. I usually play 3-5 hours a day, no more. Sometimes, but rarely, I can take a break for a few days.

I had a normal bankroll,but I lost it in a week...I couldn't stop,even though I knew I had to hit the brakes...I moved away from buy-ins and play freerolls...Here's a reinterpretation...

We all learn by our mistakes. The most important thing is not to make that mistake again. I lost couple of bankrolls just by overextending my sessions. Like playing 5 hours straight without breaks just to breakeven. This is the surest way to go broke. Now I set up an alarm on my desktop which automatically pops up and I click sit out next BB automatically wether I am winning or losing. Now I care less about winnings and concentrate on focusing, paying attention to other players and to play a quality game. Believe me this pays off.
