When I'm losing, I really try to leave the poker room and do something else, but sometimes I keep losing for hours until I realize how stupid it is to stay playing :(

Online

I play at times of the day that is unemployed to have the concentration that is required, I have a monthly limit to spend money playing online I never exceed that amount, I do not put my economy at risk for the game, I have a lot of self control for that

It seems to me to determine the time spent at the table.
Can the number of hands or the value of the stack?
Maybe the amount that can be allowed to lose, to leave. or the amount of winnings to stop.

I don't understand your question. But if you want to make poker then you have to put your life on the cards or a fight with the boys behind the barn.

Here are a few questions you should be asking yourself when you play for a long time and lose. Am I playing on the right buy-in level if its a tournament. The lower the buy-in, the worse the play is? So try a higher buy-in with better players, its easier to bluff a player who respects your play compared to a calling station who does pay attention or know any better. Am I setting up a solid table image and am I exploiting it? Try playing a little tighter in certain positions on the table. You might be leaking chips calling raises to see a flop with marginal hands in positions that you should have folded preflop. Some times play hands to min lose instead of a max gain. Remember not every hand is a winner. Call in some spots preflop instead of reraiseing and check call instead of betting. Trying different approaches to each hands yields different results verses some players.

We all have good days and bad days playing poker. Extend the good days and cut the bad days short. Poker isn't going anywhere- if you're not playing well, quit , analyze what you were doing wrong, correct it, and play again.

I think that you need stop when you do not play your best game. That is not to say you have to enjoy every session you play! If you think back to your last twenty or so sessions, you have probably for understand.

I've had many sessions where I've lost for hours, but it's only as likely as winning for hours. Usually, it's a mix. If I find losing is changing my mood to negativity then I'll go do something physical for awhile, like mow the lawn, toss a ball with my grandson etc. This returns my head to a much healthier place and I generally end up playing better poker.

If there is no game? First I reduce the number of tables. And I focus on one or two. If I lose, I close the session. There is a game - I play. I do not look at the clock.

There are such days. I stop when I think I can not lose anymore.

Daniel Negreanu says that when you are losing, that is the time to stop playing and come back later. When you are winning, that is when you should keep playing.

One of the biggest mistakes young players make is trying to get back losses. Keep that in mind. And a good rule of thumb is that when you are struggling, try bluffing less!
