how to know when to stop?

[Felpss_ii]

It is difficult to stop playing poker sometimes and I only seem to stop when all money is lost.

For example, I bet 10$ into a pot, and soon it increases to 30$. Then I continue to increase the bet even though it seems very silly and unnecessary. How can I control the urge to play like this? Do you have any tips or ideas for me?

I understand that the desire to win a big pot is tempting but sometimes it's worth it to win little by little, I'm an aggressive player but I love stealing blinds, I find it difficult to fold strong hands like high pairs but sometimes it's necessary especially if I believe that the opponent has a flush, you always have to deduct what the other has, even more if you can't fool the opponent.

it is very important for people who are addicted to keep their heads clean and sober!
If you ask me, I will say that the practice of meditation is the way

Try to get yourself a cat. It is believed that cats develop a sense of intuition in their owner. And it is your intuition that will tell you when to stop and when to raise the stakes.

In poker, it's impossible to win every hand you play. But defeats are extremely hurtful. Especially when they go in succession, turning into a downswing. There are no victories in poker without defeats, so you will have to treat them philosophically, without turning the next one into a tragedy of your life. Poker does not owe you anything. It is important to treat the game with respect, as well as to your opponents. If thoughts begin to appear in your head that you know how much more than other poker players and poker should pour you - discard them and start to analyze several hands better.

poker is a very difficult game, you don't always win the hands, you only do it with wisdom and a lot of luck, I would like someone to tell me about the administrators or good poker players when we should stop and continue to win

when tiredness hits when you don't feel well when it starts to affect your daily tasks and when you take a lot of bad and feel the weight

i think taking your time for each decision and not act too fast is the key . like give yourself time and think about your actions carefully

To be honest its sounds like, you have a gambling problem. If you are playing live poker like 1/2 dollar blinds, then start playing online instead, and either go to the play money tables, or start with very low stakes like 1c/2c or 2c/5c blinds, so that losses are monetary insignificant. And then continue doing this, until you have learned enough strategy to become a winning player in these games. After that you can go back to the casino and play with a focus on playing each hand correctly rather than winning or losing.

Playing poker is the same as the gold rush-to stop is not easy.

 

[LetterRip]

Force yourself to not act till a certain amount of time has passed. That can prevent your emotional betting actions from taking over, and allow your rational decision processes to determine if a bet is warranted.

It is all about time management and money management.
For me it is like having fun with attractions.
I know that today i gonna spend $20 only as tickets and maybe i will win.
But i realized that for me it is more important to feel some emotions, not money.
If i will earn some money it will be like cherry on the pie.

It seems to me that everyone has their own bar to stop at. You can determine it yourself.

 

[Gallarado777]

then when you are tired or you want to sleep or you want to win back in this state, you need to stop

 

[ROYALROAD]

If you feel strongly that you can still continue to win, you should keep going.
Otherwise, you should stop at a reasonable time.

If you know that it is a silly bet, then you are just gambling. Poker in reality is not gambling as it essentially boils down to a complicated maths equation. That is why the best players in the world are the best; it's not just luck.

I would suggest taking some time to study some basics; things like pre-flop ranges, 3 bet pots and flop strategy in and out of position. You will find loads of really helpful stuff in Cardschats 30 day course.

Also, I would suggest lowering the stakes you play, at least while you brush up on some of these key skills, if you're regularly making $10+$30 bets, these spots are going to prove very costly over time.

If you make wrong decisions at the table, start to tilt, it is better to immediately close all tables and take a break from the game.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

Always play below your bankroll, don't make unnecessary bets if you smell that you can lose your hand, keep in mind that there are players here who have more money than you and don't mind losing it, taking a break is good but not too much.

If you tend to do that, play lower buy-ins to minimize the risk of losing a big buy-in, work on it at the lower buy-ins and when you know you stopped doing it, you can go a little higher etc, otherwise play tournaments only, if that doesn't work you need to work on it and tell yourself to not do it and take yourself into controll

 

[CryptoBlood]

I dont know when to stop playing poker I just have some kind of bad feeling that I will lose if I dont withdrawal and then I withdrawal my money.

 

[No Bologna]

When you start making mistakes, like I did last night. Wasn't focused and realized I was on auto pilot and tired. Lost some money stupidly, quit playing and went to bed.
