grinding is easier while watching the wire

It's cool I think just the way you phrased it came off bad. I generally don't like to do these types of deals with family however because alot of stressful and/or unwanted situations come of it.

on a serious note:
do you guys use stop-losses based on opponent (ie: if i lose 5 buy ins to this guy, i'll quit him), on session (ie: if i lose 10 buy ins this session, i'll quit) or no stop loss at all?

or something in between?

ty etc

i use both.

can u be a lil more specific

say i have a stop loss vs a single opponent, we'll call this y. if i lose y buyins vs one opponent i quit them. i also have a stoploss on the day, we'll call this x. if i lose x buyins in a day, i quit for the day. x overrides y in some cases, because i can be x-1 buyins down for the day, sit with player z and lose 1 buyin, which doesnt equal y my stoploss for one single opponent, but it equals x my stoploss for the entire day. in this example i would quit said opponent before my single opponent stopless has been met, thus x overriding y.
I hope this is an accurate example of what jsnipes means because I in no way use this and may or may not know what I'm talking about.

I've found that it's pretty ****ing hard to sick w/ a stop-loss

yea i mean i don't really follow any one particular thing tooo strongly but this is more or less what i do.

if i am playing someone who i would deem a 'regular' or whatever and it's only one table and they are playing i usually would try and quit after like 2 buyins. if im multitabling a reg id prob quit after 5. if im single tabling anyone else i prob wouldnt quit unless i was tilting like a beast or lost >5 (obv this changes based on what stakes im playing...i might quit after 10 at 3/6, 6 at 5/10, 3 at 10/20-whatever amount makes me start to play like ass).

and then i also would just quit a session at like 8-10 or something. and prob quit for the day. that's generally what i do but i don't really have anything set in stone. and by golly if i feel like tilting off 25 buyins ill be damned if i dont!

I've found it's pretty easy

stop losses are for the weak. Unless your playing someone who you dont think you have much of a edge on.

what's ur biggest downswing?

It probably doesn't reign true anymore but I remember schneids specifically talking about having a stop-loss or something similar. Over a large sample size his biggest downswing at the time in lhe was less than 300bbs, which is unheard of. He claimed his ability to quit after losing x amt and/or when he recognized he was playing bad was the reason for this.

thanks for ur reply btw

Same here, and my stop loss requirements are about the same as jsnipes.

I don't have one, but that's a pretty bold statement.

i know it
hope i don't blow it

rhyming with the same word is LAMEEEEEEEEEEEE

To me it seems like stop losses are for those with tilt issues (or tilt identifying issues). If I feel like I'm tilting/getting tired/starting to play bad for some reason I will quit.

If I'm down x amount of buyins but am playing someone I think I have an edge on I won't quit as long as I'm rolled for the game and playing reasonably well.

is maminakoki on 2p2? See that guy on all the time, looks like he is crushing 1/2. +19.3k this month so far.

I found it was really hard to stick with a stoploss on my own money, but it's been pretty easy since I started playing on a stake.

For some reason it's so much easier to be respectful about somebody else's money than my own.

Which is a sad sad statement all on it's own.

:/

what's your biggest downswing ?

this is actually very true for myself, but i never really played HU before i was staked

Stop-losses are hard unless the guy seems super good. When they're bad you always think you can get it all back, but momentum is like 50% of HU. But 3 Buy Ins vs a non-****** is a good place to take a break.

its extremely satisfying to beat someone after being stuck a lot. stop losses are hard.

I guess this applies mroe high steaks since at small stakes people don't really like to lose back a bunch of BIs and will usually quit you when they feel you're making a comeback.
