Ive beed playing online for about 9 months and im doing well, thinking about making it my nmain income. But I have one serious flaw. I have trouble steping away while am up. Ive been up 4G in one session but slipped down to only $2300 for examlpe. Anyone else have this problem, what did you learn to do to get out while your'e ahead?

Best bet for me when to quit is when I've made more then one or two mistakes in a short period of time. That's a true sign that I'm bored or whatever. Also, I don't play very long sessions, so that might not apply as much to youGood luck!

I think Vade has the right idea. Quit playing when the quality of your play deteriorates, not when you are ahead. If you are going to play online for a living, you are going to have to put in a lot of hours and probably play a regular schedule. As long as you are playing well, you should expect to win whether you are up or down, so only quit when you have made you hours for the day or you can't play your best.

Pretty much what Vade said. If you feel that you start losing concentration after a certain period of time, take a break. Come back an hour or two later, thats the great part of internet poker, you can always find a game.
