To some degree I do feel this way. I don't necessarily become reckless, I just do start to feel slightly different about my game. When I feel that I am about to leave I begin playing cautiously like I am trying to protect my winnings, invariably this leads to a few stolen pots and I wind up playing another 10 minutes much less successfully than my last 45. I know it is probably a discipline thing but I have trouble feeling the signs that I should head out.

I play low-stakes Hold'em on Ultimate Bet pretty much daily. The biggest trouble I am having at the moment is knowing when to leave the table. I consistently buy-in $1, earn up to $3 to $5, then manage to burn it down much lower before leaving. I have been told not to set goals, as that leads to irrationally leaving tables that I am winning, however I see no alternative when I am consistently throwing away my winnings after I multiply my money several times.
