At what point do you quit for the night?

After about 15 sit-n-go's, having my chips in with the better hand just to get crushed in the end. I know my playing and desisions are right, except for the 3 times i was behind(but i won those hands…go figure).

At what point to you give up for the night? Do you keep playing til you even back up?

I won 1 out of 15, this is just unacceptable to me, but at the same time if tonight is just not my night maybe I'm doing myself a favor.

i would say that you should quit whenever you dont feel like you are playing your a-game anymore – i.e even if you are but playing well, and you are still shrugging it off, then i would keep playing, but if you start to tilt slightly then its time to take a break.

this would be a good question for Jamie (dare2dream) to answer – actually, i think this article might help a bit too.

I agree with Benny, but I think a very important factor is you have to be honest with yourself about if you are really playing your a-game. Did you play unnecessary hands that got you short stacked before you got it in good? Did you get short from an unnecessary bluff before getting it in good? You get the point. I think most players are not playing well after a bunch of loses and sometimes it is better to call it a night and start fresh the next day. If you are in the right mindset and have great tilt control, then keep playing and beat the variance!

If you know you are playing right and making correct decisions and can still do that despite the bad run by all means keep on playing.

If the bad run is affecting your decision making then quit and come back later.
