For all those who Multitable out there do you ever cut your planned sessions short.
I have been 12 tbling $16 stg's lately and just cut my session short after losing16buyins from 30 tourneys. Felt I was largely playing well but found myself yelling after another suckout on the bubble. I don't usually get upset so I thought it best to gove it up for the afternoon rather than tilt away anymnore of my roll.

probably a good idea. when i used to grind sng's i found that i was heaps more results orientated than i should be, and struggled to keep composed after a few bad beats in a session.

my best tip to you sir is to get some exercise, as personally i find that it really relieves any stress i have, and after i'm done and cool down etc i find that i'm in a much better mood and can regrind with a clear head.

whenever you find yourself getting angry you should always cut the session short.

rub one out.....and load more after

if you think it is affecting your play yes, otherwise not much point.

also why are you grinding SNGs on stars if you are an Aussie?

i mean you have access to Party, iPoker, Ongame, etc.  Rake is slightly more, but you should be able to get an RB deal getting 50% back or better.

and play is a lot worse than on PS or FTP.

i load up a session of sngs and then do some pushups, curls, situps and then load up some more. as long as i'm not making mistakes i could give a fuck about losing a few buyins. granted i think its better to play less tables and drop down in stakes when losing x amount of buyins is starting to piss you off. i was playing $10 and just couldnt deal with the swings so dropped back to $5 for a bit.

grinding SNGs sucks, especially when its going bad. I find when im running bad, i drop down the amount of tables for a little bit. Instead of playing 12 at once, drop to 4-6, try get back into wining ways and move back up to 9-12.

If when you get back to 9-12 you are still losing, consider that maybe 9-12 isnt as profitable for you as 4-6.
