Profit stop sign

Last night, for the third time in the last five sessions, I had a minimum profit three sit and go session. Getting a single first place with no second places in the first three sit and gos of a session is a true profit stop sign. You really have to think long and hard about playing a fourth session in this situation. If you don't play a fourth, you've guaranteed yourself a decent profit of $25,500 on the night. If you do play a fourth, you have a decent chance of falling back into the red, and if you do, there's no guarantee you'll get back into the black. An amusing side note about this profit stop sign is that it doesn't even matter which of the three sit and gos you won; your decision about whether or not to continue should be the same in each case (and that decision should be "no" :-)).
