For what it's worth, when I read this post, I missed the NL part. My answer was based on the game I play the most, which is limit.

I think I would be much more likely to Hit and Run in a NL game.

after I'm in $50 i take a 24 hour break unless i lost it all on horriffic beats... I usually assume that I'm doing something wrong, and I dont play again until i figure out what that thing is.

i do set loss limits, generally twice what i would buy in for. this can change depending upon the situation (i will set a higher limit if i am playing live, as opposed to online, just due to the fact that i had to drive somewhere, etc), but roughly 2 buy ins is what i can stand to lose.

i never set a win limit. if i feel that my game is slipping, i will get up from the table. i have no problem doing that, but i feel that if you only play until you hit a certain level, you will be significantly less profitable in the long run.

i think that negreanu wrote an article on his website about playing hours, not playing results, which made a good amount of sense to me. essentially his reasoning was, if you can beat a game in the long run, you should continue playing the game, no matter if you are up big or stuck in that session. without putting in the hours, you cant expect your bankroll to grow significantly.

Thumbs up ive never thought of that

of all the poker i have played, well not really that much less than 2 years, i have never once thought of setting win limits. Adds a wrinkle into my brain. I know at the 25 NL i want to get at least double. when i hit 75+ i play till i hit 100 or back to 75. then im gone. I guess i did have win limits. Just didnt think of them like that. Its like aeq.88 said you could lose a lot in 1 hand. I just look at the next highest guy and see 30 and think to myself "one hand and our positions are exactly opposite". That lets me leave a little easier.

Here's what you're doing wrong - you are sitting down in a chair to play poker.

Someone like you would be far more suited to playing bingo with the elderly.
