I have been playing HUsngs for about 4 months seriously now started at the $5 husngs now playing the $50hungs. My stoploss for a day is normally -6 Buy-ins in a day, or three hour session. I was wondering if this is to nitty or too loose?

Depends how you're playing. Without knowing how emotional and tilty you are, we can't help you out with how many buyins is a good stop loss for you. 6 sounds reasonable though.

6 sounds pretty reasonable, but I would go by feel as well. Say you go on a good heater, I would play it out until you felt it was necessary to stop

Stop loss = bust. For most people at least.

10% Of your Roll is what ive seen suggested.
So if your roll is $1000 you lose $100 then quit.

THIS!!

Never EVER use a stoploss because you are losing....quit because you are not on your game and making bad decisions, quit because you have lost your self-control and are tilting, don't quit because you are playing good poker but just getting unlucky. If you are making the right decisions and getting it in good and just catching some bad breaks and getting sucked out on it will eventually turn around. Good decisions are good decisions, just because a long shot hit and you lose shouldn't determine if you need to stop.

Also, adhering to a stoploss takes discipline, which is needed to develop that judgement.

I have no problem with a stoploss. It's like training wheels for discipline.
