If your playing 100nl and crushing it for 5 days then you sit on the sixth day and blow 2 BI but still want to keep playing drop to 50nl or even 25nl just for the night. That may help............I just turn my computer off now and go punch my punching bag if i catch such a bad one where i'm about to go NUTSSSSSSS. LOL. You could also play like a $5-25 MTT or something like that while in one of these swings. But like i said i just turn the shit off and do something else. GL on your mission and if you crushing the 100nl then its only a matter of time before you start crushing 200nl. Keep it positive...........

Thanks, Shutting it off has always been too tough, but I am gonna try.

Yea, I play a ton. Everyday pretty much. Which is fine when it's my down time, but when it becomes an issue and then I have no downtime doing anything else and things go horrible in every way.

This is one of my new stop loss plans. We'll see how it goes.

Just something to add to this that makes me feel better:
When I try to move up I set myself a lower BR to move down. This would allow me to move down early and still have plenty of buy-ins for a lower level.

This is something I do at a new stake or new site. But I have beat the games, and can see that I can beat the game, so it's tough to jump when it could just be variance. But I do have to leave when it's me and not the cards.

Afraid I will leave you in the dust? I am done until I fix this issue for sure.

GL man, I´ll be checking this with interest.

Yea, we talked about it. Hit me up on AIM if you have any questions once I start to figure it out.
