You have frequently said you do not disagree with quitting when ahead at negative expectation games.

Rob plays negative expectation games. Why are you attacking him when he is doing something you agree with?

You shouldn't criticize me either. I also play a -EV game. You should be commending both Rob and me.
Alan, I don't see where I have attacked you or Rob in this thread. I thought we were having a rare, fairly polite discussion.

And yes, a player playing -EV should employ stop limits. Otherwise he will lose every cent he has.

But that is far different that promoting stop limits as a winning strategy. Stop limits do nothing to overcome negative expectation, nor help a player win.
If I play 8/5 Bonus poker at $5 a hand and I hit quad aces on the first hand for $400 and quit for the day, have I a profit for the day?

Yes or no?

What is wrong with that?

I'll answer: nothing is wrong with that.

So why do you challenge it with long term gobbledygook?

Please tell?
The day is irrelevant. Only your LIFETIME results are what matter.
