Stop Limits, ( how much money you can lose, or how many hands do you lose before you end the session ). I have read very little on this message board concerning this very important part of the game strategy. So I am going to share my system, and would like your feedback.
1 and 2 deck I stop after 4 consecutive losses
6 deck I stop after 5 consecutive losses
All stop limits are back to back losses, push's do not count, and stop limits are the same if I win or lose. I will also stop if I have lost 50% of my buy-in, or lose the first three hands of any session. As simple as this sounds having the discipline to stick to my stops limits is the hardest part, accepting the fact that the cards have turned against me and leaving the table after I have won is difficult. In the past I would take my buy-in amount of chips and put them in my pocket after I was up to make sure I did not lose them, I have improved enough to not do that anymore.
