When it's time to go get up from the table.
Seneca 1/2 NL 100Max.
8 hours
Started getting tired at the end. I think my limit of good poker is about 6 hours.
I made my first ever squeeze play all in for about $230.
I played great for the first 6 hours and sort of ran into a wall.
Have you ever found yourself in a game and found that your reads aren't working.
One thing I need to do is learn how to get up from the table when it's time to go.
Finished okay still up $430, but I need to learn when to quit when I'm tired.
Do you guys have tips on leaving when you need to?

Since you left +400, I think you picked a good time:)
Mind you, Live poker's pretty boring. Most people always feel tired and like leaving. Are you associating two independent events (tired + losing)?
I don't find myself bored at live poker too often yet. I find lots to occupy my time with when I'm at the table. I talk with my neighbour and I play a little game with myself when I'm not in the hand.
I call it, Over Under Call the hand.
For each person in the hand I guess what their hole cards are and if I'm over that guess, I add one chip to the left pile. If I'm under I add a chip to the right pile. This also lets me know if I'm consistently guessing too high or too low.
Towards the end I did two costly plays. I three bet an UTG loose aggressive short stack player's raise with AQo. And I bet the ace high flush and ran into a straight flush (not even considering the 578s board.)
This is why Drtyore doesn't wear pants
Irrelevant to the thread, but are you saying you would've checked down/check call with the second nuts when only one hand beat you?
I'm nowhere near good enough at reading to avoid doubling him up in this situation.... what's bugging me is I didn't even consider the board to see that a straight flush was out there... I just saw I had the A-high flush and bet the unpaired board. Fortunately he wasn't very deep.
Ahh..gotcha. Just wanted clarification...
2nd piece, if the young hottie wants you to go home with her, it's time to go. She'll kick yer sorry ass out once she's done with you but wtf, it's all good. (only happened to me once but that's fine too).
