sit n go question

[redfish 0]

My brother plays strictly 10 person sit n go tourneys professionally. He makes about $8/hour playing 3 tourneys at a time and will play 10-12 hours every day. My question is that when he gets on a roll and gets up about $200, does it make sense to quit at the first sign of the cards getting a little cold.My thinking is that with these types of tourneys there is a good bit of luck involved and the cards likely won't stay that good so why not call it a day a few hours short. I also think that he is eventually going to burn out and this may prevent or delay that from happening.Any thoughts?

My thoughts are: are you serious? Cards don't stay hot or stay cold -- until after it's happened. You can't decide your luck is going to continue or that it's ended. Quitting when you're up makes as little sense as quitting when you're down -- unless it's affecting how you're playing. Like if you're tilting because of a number of bad beats or bad luck of having KK run into AA a lot.As far as him potentially burning out, that's possible. 10-12 hours of SnGs a day is enough to make any man get sick of it. SnGs just don't provide a ton of variety IMO, but that comment is _JUST_ my opinion. 10-12 hours day in day out of any one thing can be too much for many people. Especially if it's 10-12 hours straight.
