Do you set limit on your winning streak

It is very difficult to stop playing especially when you are on a winning streak even though you have set limit on gambling time. It is more easy to stop when losing than when winning. Many players will believe that they are on lucky run and will continue gambling with higher fund with less dedication and work.
 
I am one person that is always financially conscious and loves to play safe when it comes to money issues. Whether it is poker or any other form of gambling, I don't continue playing after I have won like two times at a stretch. I understand poker and gambling enough to know that the next hand might just sweep all your funds.
 
Yeah, I try to set win goals but honestly I'm terrible at sticking to them. When I'm running hot, it's so tempting to keep playing and try to win even more. I've learned the hard way that you can give back big wins pretty quickly.
 
I set limit even when I am winning because I do not want to lose my money. So, I stop after a couple of large wins because poker is quite unpredictable. Your fortune can change in a flash. It is always better to walk away with gains than take it all on a winning streak.
 
There is this feeling that comes with winning that makes you feel like you are invincible. The thing is that if you don't take time, you would lose all your winnings again. That euphoric confidence point is when mistakes always happen the most. I always stop after two hours of continuous poker to clear my head regardless of if I am winning or not.
 
Whenever I'm on a heater, or a winning streak. It motivates me to play more.

Until it starts to go against you right? In that heat of the moment when you're on a winning streak, if you have a loss, do you keep going feeling you can recover the loss and continue the streak or it's a sign for you to stop for the day?
 
That's so true When you are winning your brain tells you to keep going because everything feels right. You stop thinking clearly and chase that high. It's actually harder to quit when you are up than when you are down. That's why setting strict time limits beforehand matters..

It's that time of year. Holiday time. When you have to be nice to people. It's a perfect time for poker players to practice their bluffing skills.
