When you're losing, it's tempting to play more riskily; you justify this to yourself by saying you don't have enough chips to play properly. The reasoning here is that if your gamble pays off, you'll have more chips to play with right away, and if your gamble fails, you'll soon have more chips to play with, once you've hit the felt and are able to reload. Many times, this actually turns out to be a good strategy; I've often turned my luck around after hitting the felt. However, it's extremely important to be able to end your session before hitting the felt. You won't do it every time you have the opportunity, but you need to be able to do it. Otherwise, you're just a slave to your impulses. I consider quitting early like this a form of losing well. Last night, I lost well by quitting after my set of tens lost to an ace high flush. I sensed it wasn't my night, and acted on that sense.
