fatigue
Ok so I went back to the 10-20 game at the local casino last friday and sat down at a very passive/loose table and won 700 dollars. Alot of players who take there hands too far. It was getting late and I was coming back the next morning so I left because I wanted to get some sleep. The next day I sat down, was up and down for a while but still confident and i managed to get +350... then as the hours dragged on (9+) I felt myself getting uncomfortable and fatigued. I was moved to the main game, where there were some tougher players. I felt like three of them were better players who had more experience than I was, but there were still a few loose/awful players. The table struck me as not being nearly as profitable, plus I was nearing exhaustion. I had this good idea that I should leave, cash out, go on an extended break, and come back later in the night. Fresh start. But I didn't do it and I ended up - 300 on the day. I was pretty upset with myself as I had known this but had not trusted my judgement and not acted upon it. What are all of your thoughts on when to quit, quiting while ahead even if the game is good, fatigue, or even my idea of cashing out while ahead and putting my name at the bottom of the list and starting over. (I was thinking it might be a good confidence booster to cash out +350 (so 750 total) and then start over with only 400 in front of me again at a feeder table. Especailly if the main game I'm moved to isnt as profitable.) Sorry for the long post. Thanks.
