[NLHE] - Setting Win/Loss Limits

[Talking Poker]

This is a concept I flip flop back and forth on.

I tend to think setting loss limits is a good idea. Even if you know it's a good game, and you know you are getting bad beat after bad beat, I think the frustration starts to add up and you come off your "A" game, whether you like it or not. Some people get too tight, others get too lose (I am sometimes in this crowd), and others just start playing a different game - whetever it's becoming more or less aggressive, making more or less "moves," whatever. When all is said and done though, I think all of these things are bad ideas.

As for setting win limits - and believe me, I understand where you are coming from, as I used to do the same thing - I don't think this is a good idea. When you're winning big, you're obviously in a good game and playing well... and you've probably got a great table image. So why not stay and take advantage of that?
