When do you know that it's time to quit?

We all know that luck will average out over time and that in the end, the best player wins. But how can you tell when it's time to quit?

Today, for example, has been a bad day for my P/L, and not just on this site. On 6 separate occasions, with a large commitment to the pot and the odds on my side, the cards fell in favour of my opponents. 

The only gains which I have made are by bluffing and stealing blinds. Hard work and small beer.

I'm not a statistician, so I don't know just how many hands you must play before the odds even out.

Should I quit while I'm behind?

    Well---- The short answer is NO--- but the slightly longer answer is YES-- hope that helps.

    The true odds will read true over 1000s of hands, but play plenty of tables to help level out the variance, and keep getting it in good and you will be fine my friend.
