Techincally it makes no difference when I do, but a big part of my strategy includes the mostly celebratory drives home to enjoy the fruits of my labor with my family. I played about 40 times a year the first 5 or 6 years then it tailed off as I developed several new, more enjoyable strategies for the mix. I think where Alan gets away from my strict Single-Play Strategy procedure is when I've talked to him about playing multiple sessions in a weekend or on a visit, because I'm there for a required extended period for whatever reasons outside gambling. But whenever this has occurred, I was ONLY talking about playing my much faster and less stressful/lower denominational RTT & ARTT strategies.
The one I had in email wasn't as good as what you said back on page 8 when you first chimed in. It was apparently ignored. We also discussed this in person at the Silverton, but I don't have a transcript. You clearly state here, "I can (but never have) started another session right away." Alan seems to only hear you when you say something that agrees with his beliefs. He really wants to leave ahead and is apparently using the fact that "you said to" as a justification. I find this distressing. He is one of your biggest supporters and even he is taking you out of context. We all have a little "hearing what we want to" going on in our heads, but it is really important that we fight this natural human instinct.

Alan should not need another person to have said something to justify his desires. To Alan: if you want to leave after a big win, leave. It is not necessary for you to do so because "Rob said so". He has his own reasons for leaving, you are not him.
