Hm , i ve recently thought about implementing a stopp-loss mark into my poker arsenal
After calming down from recent happenings i sat down today and forced myself to play a pretty standart ABC tag style.
Yeha I had a winning session ....
played only 560 hands ended up + 57$ which is ~ 10bb/100

After the last 2 days on which i lost 604 $ >-<
i reviewed what happend in the past month.

2 things become very obvious

1.) everytime i am on the edge of going up limits i get a "sick" downswing.
This has been the case from Nl25-> NL50 4 times >_<
and now it just happend right before i reached NL100

well the most reasonable explanation i came up for this is that i get overagressive due to excitement that i only need 2-3 more buy ins to move up to the next limit.
When i realize that i am superior to the other players of my limit and that i am just about to move up i try too hard to totaly destroy and outplay them in almost every pot >-<
Its not that i do particulary bad stuff .. but mostly that i choose the 2nd best but more agressive option above the best ( standart weaker) option

2.) I have always a lot more winning days than losing days ... but my losing days always are way bigger than my winning days...
This has always been the case since i started poker. I win at like 85% of my sessions .. but when i lose i lose a lot .

Lets take may for example :
i played 11 sessions in may so far.
9 winning sessions and 2 losing sessions
my winning days are mostly 50-130 $ on NL50 in like 1-1,5K hands
my losing sessions are mostly 200-450$ on NL50 in 2-3,5 K hands ...

i rarely have losing sessions .. but when i have them i get totally destroyed for like -30Bb/100

Seems that when i run bad -> everything comes together ... My draws never hit , villian draws always hit ... my Overpairs run into sets or higher overpairs on undercard flops. my 2nd nutz always loses vs absolute nutz + i tilt some

From a logical point it may not make much sense to go for a stopp-loss
but i think i will give it a try.

I think i ll make it at ~2 1/2 buy ins 130$ for Nl50
if i hit that mark i wont play any poker for the day

lets see how things work out.

try to overcome tiltness and a "stop-loss-rule". As a real poker player you must be able to put a large amount of hands in.

Yesterday was soooo cool! We have to do it again.

keep up the good work!

Haha , yeha it was great

And the funny thing is i always get the same reaction from non full contact martial artists guys that hit my shinbone with their shin . ^^
they dance in pain ^^
I must admit u also did a very nice dance when my left low kick hit your blocking shin at the end of our MMA training session

but u have some talent ^^
u just need to get harder and more pain resistent over the years

awful pic dude
and i think stop loss is only good when u play terrible not when ur running bad,
but if u start playing terrible when u running bad u should work a bit on that. leave one table and start playing good poker, dont try to catch up the lost money, dont be results orientated it never helps.

gl, post better pics next time plz
