...I hang around far past the point I'm really enjoying myself or focussing properly and end up losing money. I'm really angry with myself because I spoiled a great deal of good play just from a refusal to stop playing when I knew I really should.
I'd played well across a couple of tables, and was around $4 up. I decided to have one more go, and yet again I let myself go totally on tilt. I dropped down to about $2 (from usual $5 buy-in), built myself back up to about $3.50 but just couldn't bring myself to stand-up from the table! Instead I just got looser and looser, until I finally wiped out. It's becoming quite a common problem for me now, the inability to leave until I'm either wiped-out or back in profit. The stupid thing is that overall I'd still have been up if I'd walked away with $3.50, or even with $2. But instead I just get trapped, and get frustrated and fatalistic.
It's a huge hole in my game, much bigger at the moment than any of the actual strategy and something I need to fix as soon as I can.
