Yeah I'd suggest following a conventional BRM strategy where you only play games that you have at least 50 full buyins for - maybe even 100 buyins if you want to be conservative.

Stop-losses are a tricky thing: the big question you need to answer about them is WHY you're stopping playing.

If you're stopping playing because you're tired, or not thinking straight, or distracted, or whatever, and that's affecting your play and causing you to make bad decisions, then yes it's absolutely a good idea to stop the session and come back tomorrow when you're playing better.

If you're playing well though, the game is still good, and you've just gotten unlucky a few times then I don't see any need to leave the table and stop playing just because you've lost some arbitrary amount.  I've got the exact same view on setting profit goals for each day FWIW too - why would you stop playing in a good game just because you've "won enough"?!?

So: if you're stopping more for the former reason then... yeah, I guess that's a good idea.  I don't necessarily know that stop-loss goal is the [b]best[/b] way of addressing that problem though.  You should probably find a better way of identifying earlier that you're not playing your best, rather than waiting until you've lost a set amount to acknowledge it.

If you're stopping for the latter reason, then I'd say it's probably a strategy that's not helping you in the long run.
