So I guess most of us have something to remind them when to stop playing if losing byuins.
From what I've gathered it's the 4 buy in loss which I use too and it's very good.
But I guess today was a big exception cause in the course of 130 hands (20 minutes) I lost 4 buyins and I thought it's ok to continue playing. But my run went bad and in another 100 hands I lost 3 more. And I reviewed the hands and as hard as it to believe it wasn't tilt and I'm going to post them later in the day. But I am ok with the way I played those hands, really.
I guess I should've stopped at the 4th BI loss and that's my mistake here. But I just lost count as 3 losses happened in 1 minute - two times with AK preflop and an A or a K on the flop and one with QQ - boom, boom, boom and they were gone so they didn't feel like 3 losses but more like one.
So I need something to remind me of lost buy ins and keep the exact track of them. And later I checked the bankroll to see how much I've lost and it was 4 Bi already from some reraises where I folded, unsuccessful steals or completely missed flops etc.
Is someone using something to remind you of losses or do you trust in your memory?
I was thinking to make a pile of 4 coins and remove a coin whenever I lose a buy in or something like that. Or keep the cashier window open and check it from time to time or even both of these things cause with virtual money I can't exactly keep track especially in a longer session.
Any tips are useful and welcome!
