How do I adjust the interest deduction for my second mortgage?

My second mortgage is $150k. I understand that one can only deduct the interest paid on the first $100k. Is this correct, and if so, would it be reasonable for me to just leave off 1/3 of the interest, when making the deduction (for last year I made interest only payments)?
