Default Stop loss a fine idea

I’m pretty disciplined, and don’t go on tilt very often (which is not to say I don’t have plenty of other issues/problems). Part of the way I do this is by setting strict loss limits. I sit at the Party 2/4 with the “suggested” $100. If I go down to $40 (or below, but only as a result of having started with more when the hand began), I quit. If I’ve lost more than that, either I’m playing poorly or the fish are simply having a lucky night, and that’s that. Plus, if I have too little in front of me, I tend to feel outgunned and think twice about raising even when it’s the right play.

On the flip side, I don’t see any reason not to ride a hot streak as far as it will take you.
