When to Quit a Poker Game

[@therealrick1661]

You quit after you start eating a Sandwich all lossey goosey

[@joacimvidnes8974]

DyingToLiveForJesus hahahahh

[@andyisyoda]

Excellent advice. Leaving the casino as the sun comes up, blinking into the bright light and uncomfortably stuck is an unpleasant feeling.

[@Gunman610]

"Have a life" One of the best pieces of advice in Barry Greenstein's excellent book "Ace on the River," which is less about how to play poker and more about how to be a poker player is this: once you've made your hobby your job, get a new hobby

[@geoffreygriffin3015]

Daniel Negreanu, been my favorite for a long time. Just found these vids recently. Keep up the great work. Kid Poker for life

[@robbieb8833]

I only play mtt`s so my strategy is to leave when I`m the only one left at the final table.

[@887fantini]

Having a game plan is always a good thing. Never play tired.... Your the man Dan! Keep up the good work...

[@GABE1231SLOTS]

great advice Daniel. I need to start treating it as a job and being ok winning a few hundred. My problem is that I always want to win big and end up losing instead of walking away when I'm up 3-5 hundred

[@MaximusRAH]

I'm guilty of this

[@Slim2Flo]

Yeah, plus after a few hours of winning i start drinking more so i really need to be disciplined when i play.

[@mastery200]

@@Slim2Flo i have a question if is greety to quit after 1:30 of playing and winning? Like is greety to stand out and leave

[@PatrickAllenNL]

I think poker is the only job where a five minute cigarette break can be beneficial. I don't smoke though...

[@DjJooze]

fap break

[@erikseidler793]

Also the only job where overtime can cut your pay.

[@benanderson3765]

Your going places in life dude 🙌

[@starboiii852]

Thanks man I totally need this. I have played for 8 hours straight and have a good profit but I decided to keep playing and the last hour I lost 25% of my winnings. I felt devastated. I need to clear my mindset and I'll follow your tip to have my own schedule. Thanks Daniel!

[@Real-Name..Maqavoy]

*Tilted* (A Real Thing); You obviously Played too Long

[@JJR0694]

You need to understand at and information table you convey poker. You can't be all loosey goosey eating a phone sitting on your sandwich

[@MMaRsu]

I wanna see the og where he said that 😂

[@robinson3313]

Just wanted to say thank you for making videos and specifically this one. Really good advice for someone like me who is just getting into small local tournaments and cash games. Wish I saw this video when it came out because I played my first online session of poker on sunday night and went from $50 to $240 and then all the way to 0 and even -50 because I tried to get back into it at 2am and made constant shitty decisions. Looking forward to all the content you are talking about putting out and hopefully I'll be in the green soon because of it

[@ronintraveller415]

This guy seems a good bloke. always seems to be happy. It's a good trait.

[@giorgiomartinico3774]

Thanks Daniel for your precious advices!!!

[@jamess4688]

There is something about experience that cant be beat. You have been on this ride before. I appreciate your advice.

[@vasishtvasan75]

Hello from India Daniel, without a shade of doubt you are the poker player that all budding poker players look up to here and I'm no different. Your cult is a legend of sorts. Extremely grateful for these tips. Keep 'em coming!

[@SniperT187]

Great video. I'm definitely one of those people that's a winner from hours 1-8 and then a donator around hours 12-16 in a session. Game always seems good, but it's not really if you aren't on your A game.

[@romansavciuc9373]

Thank you, Daniel, for the best of the best advice of quitting 👍 👏 👌

[@akaSean]

Thanks so much, Daniel, for advise. Simple, yet, so wise. Eliminates all the crazy thinking & indecisiveness, which, in turn, lowers stress level.

[@donhalley5622]

Soooo true! Can't tell you how many times I Superglued my sorry butt to a table and only quit when I totally felt like crap. What a different story it would have been if I had "allowed" myself to walk away fresh, win or lose! And yes, I definitely was the fish.

[@tensharps]

Everything you said about these situations I imagined myself in that pace in the past ...😂 I have literally done all of these stupid things .... thank you so much for this guide .... it will help me a lot

[@jamesharris40001]

This video in 10 seconds, "Set a specific amount of time you want to play"

[@michaelrothery5854]

Great advice as the dado a three year old and working full time I just find it hard to get the time in general I do a 5am online session with the time limit being when he wakes up. Only on micro limit as I have just returned to poker after a hiatus (getting married, moving to Australia etc.) but it works for me and I have finally started to profit from it

[@Duderz]

that 1 dude disliked the video because he never quit anything in his life.

[@dylanrosser2476]

froobalation hahahahahaha that made me fucking howl

[@hiromi8o852]

Great video Daniel!! Very intelligent insight. For me I try to take a break every few orbits to stretch my legs & evaluate my session thus far. Cheers🍻🍻

[@FlorinCrisan21]

wow daniel! you are so inspiring to me. just this morning i googled when you should stop poker, and now i see this video . last night was a pretty big loss for me at a cash game. your advices are great! multumesc :)

[@7611pat]

Hey Daniel.. hav been watching u play for quite some years now..i respect yor opnion in poker and i had read this approach of urs a while bck...i liked it, tried to apply but cudnt stick to the time coz smetime i was very hot and smetime very cold..hence i modified ur approach & pre-decided a buyin. This helped me and i cud really limit my losses. Keep making good videos, it surely helps us grinders in one way or the other.. Peace ✌️

[@a1.entevents]

Great advice!! Always keepin it 💯

[@plowking813]

keep playing if you are playing your A game and you are up but starting to dwindle. Doubled up to $2k started to leak down to $1650 felt loss edge and better players and cashed out, leaving up is hard as ppl love to play until broke/stuck. Another session, loss to a royal flush down to $100 said to self play A game, 8 hrs later up to $4k cashed out.

[@jeremyhuang13]

Couldn't have said it better and completely agree Daniel.

[@jeremystapley1211]

thanks for your feedback, Daniel.

[@Jesterian]

Daniel, have you considered calling this series "Negreanuer Hands"? As a kind of play on words since Negreanu sounds like the word poker?

[@silvap]

[@VegasNit]

Are you talking about Dan Polk?

Wtf

[@MishMash95]

[@elel6478]

This great advice when I played for a living and all those extra hrs it just turned into a horrible grind I got sick ove the game it's not even fun now 15 yrs later

[@bradbennett2003]

Great points, the old saying isn't just for when you sit down. It also gets reapplied to any turnovers (new player coming in). Evaluate, Re-evaluate the situation. There's no easy way to explain how the shark got eaten.

[@juanmarvin948]

Hello, thank you so much for this video. I am still learning to play poker. One thing that I cannot find in all poker tutorial is that: Is poker allow the players to stop playing anytime (even though the player still have coins)? I am still searching for that answer. Or is there a rule that a player has to play for a certain games first? Can I just leave the game after I win a game?

[@acesalpa]

All your advice is 100% on point

[@benjaminwallis317]

I won't stay for 6-8 hours if I double/triple up in 2 hrs. I play for money, that's it. I will set a limit though, but if I can make my daily amt I need faster, I chalk up the win and leave!

[@benjaminwallis317]

Ok I will definitely change my approach, thank u

[@paulthrillington2021]

That's so dumb oh my god

[@benjaminwallis317]

Paul Thrillington what's so dumb, buddy, is when I'm up big after two hours, and I stick around my full 8 hours and end up leaving either with little or no profit when I could have left after 2 hours with a big profit! I'm glad you resort calling what I do "dumb" but it has worked for me and I have not had to work in a long time! I'm going to take Daniels advice and try to apply it

[@Trias805]

That's extremely result-oriented. Let's assume you can play your A-game for 6 hours (if you can't, then obviously you should quit), but instead you leave after just 2 hours because you set a limit on your winnings. Doesn't it sound ridiculous to you already? Setting a limit *on your winnings*? Why wouldn't you want to win more? And sure, sometimes you will lose what you won instead. But as long as it was just a result of bad luck and not bad play, then more often than not you will not lose your winnings, but increase it! Also, remember that some days you won't be able to win as much as you planned. What then? Will you play for 20 hours straight just to reach your limit? That would be the worst scenario, because most likely you wouldn't be playing too well.

[@benjaminwallis317]

Trias00 thank you for the reply! I understand your thought process and respect your respectful opinion. I have reevaluated my thought process and will be changing my approach and giving it a try!

[@fromhereon]

Time to get that theme song upgraded, Daniel. It's going to be a leak in your branding, the longer you hold on to it.

[@septicwomb4394]

Tilt is the killer. I need to take a break after a bad beat. Continuing in a negative mood is a great way to go broke.

[@Eli_skips]

Wish I saw this 3 sessions before. Just came back to playing. My pride kills me. Gotta remember sometimes leaving even is winning. Will stick to this system next time I play.

[@unintimid8ed]

This is awesome info. I personally made $110 in less than 8 min. With two hands in a $4/8 limit game. Personal best

I find that about 4 hours is my sweet spot when ever i try to play longer i lose am a steady winner if i stick to short session ty for sharing your knowledge

[@gratemusic3008]

Negreanu is my favorite player of all time. He calls the most hands and has a great personality. I always had big stakes dreams, but keep getting shut down on the grinding climb. Winning big, to lose it back, even after paying a bunch of bills etc. Too much celebrating for me after winning (ego) to negate the losing. Poker is awesome. Gambling sucks. What a conundrum 😔😁🖖✌

[@brianphillips2406]

I love that one of poker's greats is sharing insight on KZbin. I truly hope you stay consistent but I also hope you add an intro lol. I like the thumbnails and the outro but a good intro is also important. 👍🏻 keep it up Kid P!

[@brianphillips2406]

I love trooper's vlog but no, something more professional. I'm sure Daniel has an idea of what I'm talking about; if not, I'm sure he'll do his due diligence. He doesn't seem like a half ass kinda guy. You can tell simply by looking at the improvements to his thumbnail and outro.

[@Jesterian]

Start off with something like "what's up guys, Dan Negs here".

[@michalmichura651]

Thats a great viedeo i was winning 20 days streight 40 bi and lose it in 2-3 day tilt no sleep session. Balance is also very important.

[@delllaurel]

My goal with in 4hr session 1/2 NL is $300 and I try to go to the tables 3 days a week . Once I hit this I get up and leave . I always play my best poker early and win before I loose. the longer I stay the more I would loose.

From #Montreal Ive played poker since I was young but recently (couple weeks ago) trough a friend strated playing cash games and im doing good so far, but compared to my friends they are on another level I was told by them to play tournaments before going to playground and playing cash games And they also told me that bankroll was crusial! Whats your take on that? Should I focus on tournament play? Or just going to play cash games if its working? Thanks Daniel I like your energy that you bring in the vids too! Very inspiring to see you playing sports and going to the gym health is wealth!

[@povesteamea9212]

[C]asanovaa Not only for you :))

[@173954borges]

Daniel. Why is it everytime I sit at my local 1/3 no limit casino table. Why they allow Straddling. I understand it's more of gamblers thing. But I feel the classic feel of hold em is gone. The dealer allowed the Button to straddle and the UTG would straddle also. I didn't enjoy it. It seems like everything gets out of position. So I got up and just cashed out.

[@NaihanchinKempo]

Much like a stop loss rule :) good idea

[@mohammedalenezi7590]

You're so good and natural

[@Jahboi69]

If i want to play for a for several hours (usually around 2-5 hrs) and end up winning a bunch money early on in the session within the first hour for example, then I will tend to leave right away. But i don't get the complete satisfaction of playing the full amount of hours. When i say a bunch of money I'm talking about 100+ dollars, not thousands. Im a college student with a part time job that does not pay even close to what the jobs of the people i play against. Playing 1/2 NL in Kansas City. It seems like common sense to leave (the casino) while your up. But in my perspective if I've gotten my satisfaction from the game (money earned) early on but don't meet the hours that i planned i on playing then i stay to meet the hours that i want to play initially, then i end up usually losing the money i earned or either winning more. I do agree with the mental discipline that you mentioned. I do the same if i win a hundred dollars for my goal then i want to leave, but sometimes i want to stay and win more money. The money i win goes to toward concerts, partying or dinners. Great vlog!

i would try some local casino's bro.. dont go to vegas to play live casino poker for the first time haha

Hey Daniel, poser for you. If you were dealt AA first hand of WSOP main event would you raise all in or call an all in?

[@aejosie]

Great vlog with good advice. my only question is while I understand the need for balance in life isn't it tough to play from noon-8 pm? Aren't games at that time limited in action, full of regs and not that profitable? This isnt the early 2000's anymore and I find more people aren't as "fishy"anymore. Just my 2 cents

[@sberry29]

Until this day, Daniel still has the illusion that he lost because he was tired :))))

[@nathancrowsey4900]

Hey Daniel. Let's say I'm playing 1-3 NL and within the first hour I am up $300. I feel like I am dominating the table and really have made most all of the profit without even going to showdown but maybe a couple of times. My thinking is that I call it a day and leave up $300. Could I be shorting myself of more profit since I smell intimidation or feel like I am playing with weak players? What general rule of thumb when it comes to % gain do you decide to walk away with (at a MUCH LARGER scale obviously)?

[@rachaelakanomadtrader3399]

This is just what I needed right now, Thanks for sharing champ! No Aussie millions this year?

[@snowmonkey6961]

NOW you tell me! Seriously, do you have an opinion on how many multiples of your buy-in would mandate you getting up and pocketing the profits? Seems like many guys grind a small stack into a pile, only to lose it at the end of a session with two or three monster pots which don't go their way.

[@royalpek]

Love the vlog!! Keep it up:)

[@yannickroosen8138]

'If you're losing, even 50 bucks...' there goes my entire bankroll ;)

[@bigb1209]

One thing I have done is if I'm going to play a tournament, I will go x amount of hours before hand and play cash, that way I limit my cash game time to 2, 3 or maybe 4 hours and have to get up to play the tournament.

[@plasticplanetdiscgolf]

Don't play out of a rack! Doyle said it. I did it once. I was one foot out the door. Flopped the nut straight. Lost my entire stack on the turn. Doyle's a wise man. I'll never do it again.

[@dobermanpac1064]

Good advice

[@leebodkin8358]

I sometimes quit early if I run my stack up a certain amount at NL and the table is relatively deep for fear of losing a massive pot, I do this because I find I play differently when I am deep than say with a 10 x to 20 x bb stack. Is this bad? ive had success but don't know if I am capitalizing enough on a good table.

Can someone help? I'm considering playing poker at a casino nearby and I'm curious as to how I can cash out my poker earnings. Are there rules preventing me from taking in a big pot and taking my chips to the teller? (I've never been to a casino, but I've been playing poker for years.) Thanks in advance for any info.

[@snoopy12shotgun32]

What is the minimum you have to sit? What if you double up in an hour or less can you just call it?

[@TheSuperdaniel1970]

Lots of exceptions to ur general rule, but obviously successful considering the source! Cheers!

[@kirilNikol0v]

usually you wanna quit if the rake is too low, or if there's no rake at all

[@dochmbi]

Indeed, you definitely need a high rake for the game to be profitable!

[@idahogreen2885]

I hope i sit at a table with you someday man. It'd be an honor to get peeled by you Sir Daniel. An an even greater one to peel you haha!

[@ShoeAlmighty]

Great advice Daniel, however you did not mention how an increase in rake would be good for you as a player and poker as a game. Let me give you an example: Say you're playing a 15 hour session and at only 5% rake you're barely losing anything to the house, virtually nothing is going to make you get up from that table. You could POTENTIALLY lose millions!!! A rake of 15% would cause you to lose a greater amount to the house but would eliminate the possibility of you getting stacked by a player,; because you would look down at your chips as they dwindle away to rake and it would make you think twice about a long session!

[@dochmbi]

Indeed, that would help a lot!

[@gluesniffer2]

I quit when I go broke :(

[@yurikostin6172]

Haha, Daniel, nice advice as usual :))

[@markllamas8194]

special case here? I lose the most after an like 1 hr of playing. but I just feel like I want to get more hrs in and I don't wanna be a douche by pulling a hit and run, so I stay. 40 mins later, I lose a $900 stack. so frustrating. advice?

[@xaviererickson3351]

My problem is I’ll be winning so I stay and play longer but then end up losing it.. it’s so hard to walk away when you’re up!

[@jeremystapley1211]

Daniel, isn't staying past the time you've allotted to play because you're winning and the game is good, counterintuitive? Isn't that partly the point of setting a limit, so that when you are winning at the end of the session, you walk away with those chips?

[@VanillaSnake21]

Counter intuitive? No, complete opposite, if you've got the table figured out and you have a certain control/table image than it's completely fine to stay extra and capitalize on that.

[@Trias805]

+Jeremy Matthew No, because your goal is to win as much money as possible, not as many sessions as possible.
