I think that in the modern world of professional poker, being able to walk away or shut down the computer when you know that you aren't playing your best is one of the most important assets you can have, other than the technical knowledge of the game. Taking it one step further, you not only have to be good about quitting for the session, but also about returning to the game only when you have cleared your mind and are truly ready to play again.
