My worst streak was losing a buy in in a limit ring game, usually about 60-80x the big blind.
I know you are supposed to play through tough streaks, but I wish I could just get up and leave, find another table, take a nap , whatever. I read an interview with Phil Ivey, saying you had to commit at least several hours to a session or it is pointless. I know the $1 tables online are just a bit different from what PI plays, but..... if your losing you should leave right? or wrong? I know its hard and I wish I could do it myself. When I start on a bad run, I normally dont grind it out to finish on the plus side. I also, seem to do well in the early stages when I sit down. I wonder if I should look to hit and run more, and leave if I get on a downswing. If so, when do you think you should head for the exits? Speaking mostly of limit play?
