I try not to limit my self with a stop loss. I grind alot of tables and quite a bit of volume of PLO, so starting a session snap stuck 10ish BI's is not that uncommon.

Also i have a limited time to grind, due to job and family, so i just kinda stick it out and soldier through even when i run really bad, due to my alloted amount of time, for beter or obv worse.

I actually used to work graveyard, and would grind constantly, like for entire 12 hour shifts i would mass multi table, every shift. A couple weeks ago, my boss called and offered me a tiny raise(3 quarters, lol) if i would take day shift, M-F. I didn't really want too, but my wife really wanted me too, saying i would have more time to hang out with her and the kid, blah, blah. Now, no more grinding at work as their are actualy other people in the office, and my boss looking over my shoulder, fml.

Had i kept graveyard, im almost certain i woulda got SNE, now, im prob a dog. We'll see.

wow, brutal replies here.

If you are hanging up on your mom or doing something else out of character that is generally a sign that you need to quit immediately no matter what (for the day not for life)

just learn from it and move on. $7.5K isin't life changing.

One more time, I DID NOT ACTUALLY HANG UP ON MY MOM ON MOTHER'S DAY. Just a joke i made up because it happened to be mothers day.

I got her flowers, we did the whole brunch thing, it was quite a pleasant day until i decided to play some hands.

Dude. WTF are you doing working a job when you crush 1/2? Seriously? A job that pays 22k a year? I would understand if you had an actual career and were worried online poker was going away... But you probably already make more money grinding than you do at work!

So, why do you have a job again? You should consider becoming a professional poker player. All the cool kids are doing it.

Obviously i would rather play full time then work 9-5(7-3 actually). If i were single i would have quit long ago, but family needs stability, even if it is only $1k every 2 weeks.

That said, if i am able to sustain my current pace, i can't see myslef working here longer then another year or so.

but im sooo not a compulsive gambler, the shot taking is really out of character for me.
I don't play above $30 HUSNG's....usually. I lost 3.5K playing $500 HU SNG's on Monday. 3/4 of my BR. I felt stupid. I'm usually not compulsive either, but every once in a while I go on mega tilt and flush months of patience and concentration down the drain. Maybe this time will be the time I really learn the lesson. Yeah, I'll rebuild. So will you. Good luck.

You are a great player, keep it up.
how do you access the series? Do you have to be a member? I think tilt factor is my biggest leak.
