After a good few sessions, I went back to crap. Had a good session in the morning where I was up $7.50. Then I decided to play this afternoon. And it was bad as can be. I lost two buy-ins in two hours. That will never happen again. It was mostly just opponents catch cards against me. Chasing draws and hitting them time and time again.
I thought I did a good job of not tilting and I probably saved at least $10 by folding when I knew they got there but it was so frustrating. I was only down about $4 until the last hand when I lost with trip Aces to J-10 (he hit broadway on the river). Of course, I probably let him stay in the hand too long which is my fault.
I'm going to set a new stop-loss. I'm going to play 1 hour sessions only. Whatever happens after that hour, I'm done. Whether I'm up or down doesn't matter, I'm quitting after an hour and coming back to it later. I tend to play better I think if I play in shorter bursts. Let's see how it works when I start it tomorrow.
