how do you determine the time you spend playing poker? do you have a daily goal, or just play when conditions are good, or for a certain time?
it seems not by chance that you always are stopping at or close to the high point. that would lead me to believe it is not strictly a time or conditions thing...
The short answer is that I play whenever I feel like it. This is a terrible approach, totally unprofessional. I've made efforts to improve this, but little progress has been made.
I generally can't play for more than 2 hours at a time, usually closer to 90 minutes. The result of the session probably does factor in to my decision to quit, but if I'm a winning player, my graphs are usually going to be sloping up to a high point.
ha, i hear you. i was just pointing out that even a good player who always won would be lucky to always stop at a high point. select any period (say 50 hands) on your graph and note the high andn low point. the range of that period is quite large, and you have always seemed to stop near the top of that range.
its a good thing, dont get me wrong. but my comment is that if things are that good then you probably shouldnt stop...
anyways i hear you on the ADD and motivation to call it a session if you are up a bunch.
I have 4 graphs of individual sessions. 1 of the 4 is clearly not at a peak. 2 are pretty close to peaks, and 1 is kinda near a peak but on more like a plateau. Not really much to base it on.
in your history of all recorded poker sessions, do you think you have more where you left at a relative low point or a high one? just wondering. i suppose its possible taht might indicate a slight influence of attitude at the table. if you left at a random time independant of your attitude based on results then i would expect it to be just as likely as you left during a losing strech as a winning one.
oh wait, i just had another thought... this discussion is not that interesting.
well what does ending on a losing or winning note even mean? if i have a slight downward turn at the end does that count? if i'm down overall but i had a little comeback towards the end? you see what i mean? i think there probably is some kind of analysis in there that could show my quitting is biased by results, but i think it would be more about correlation between length of session and total results, not about the last 20 hands or something.
i agree. i guess my posts were leading to the point you brought up... quitting being biased by results. i also agree there would probably be other stronger correlations, compared to last 20 hands.
