What I like to do is set time limits for myself. For instance, I will tell myself "ok, today you can play for 4 hours". Whether I am winning or losing after the first hour is meaningless. As long as I am not playing exceptionally bad poker, I will continue to grind it out. After that 4 hours, whether I'm down a ton or up a ton, I get up and walk away. I find that this allows me concentrate my thoughts on the important issues at hand, like the cards on the board, and the players at the table.
