    After playing at a table for a while and having a string of bad luck, how long does it take for you to decide that it is time for you to call it a night? Do you have to get frustrated enough, or just get a bad feeling about continuing on that night, losing a certain amount of money or what?

    Whenever I am playing some night and can't seem to win even a single hand, I find myself quitting a lot sooner than I would have otherwise. We all have those nights where nothing at all seems to be working out for you, and those are the nights when it is best to bow out as soon as possible.

    Don't listen to the idiot. It's a legitimate question. You'll save a lot of money and be much more profitable if you know when to call it quits when you're not playing your A game. Bad beats come and go. If they're affecting your play...well...that's when it's time to stop. If you're getting unlucky and your mindset is okay, then you should just play through it and accept it as part of the game.

    Cliff notes: Quit when you're not playing your best game.
