Fatigue

[J-Lo]

Don't know what forum to post this.

I play 8 tables at a time. Usually 2 2-hour sessions w/ 1 hr break inbetween. I've noticed that towards the end of those 5 hrs i get bored. I get bored because i become tired. So, fatigue leads to boredom... which is -EV. Anyone got idea or practices to increase my endurance in playing marathon sessions?

Exercise...

I'm not knocking you here but I can only imagine how many of the online pros are really chubby fatasses. Just because you sit on your computer to make your money doesn't mean you have to stuff your face and sit there all day long.

Get up in the morning and go for a run, a jog, hell... even a walk. Don't sit there while you're playing stuffing your face with junk and drinking soda.

It's really amazing how much energy you have when you keep yourself in somewhat decent shape and take care of yourself.

If you don't want to go that route, chocolate and energy drinks are what hikers use so if it's good enough to give them energy, it should work sitting there playing poker.

Or you can do what geeks do and drink 15 cans of Coke a day.

Good monitors, good lighting, good ergonomic mouse, good ergonomic chair, a bit of exercise, and plenty of caffeine (http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/).
