Re: How much is too much?(low content)
 

I just finished up a 70 hour week (Fri-Fri), and it was brutal. By Friday night I just had to do something other than think/read/post/talk about/play poker. I can't imagine doing this consistently, but I know the feeling, anyway.

I actually thought that playing this much would wear me out or make me disinterested, but I still wake up every morning (ok, afternoon) wanting to play. So I'm not tired of it yet.

Oh yeah, and I two- or three-table; nothing crazy like these 8- and 12-tablers. But yeah, the poker dreams...

I can actually play 8 hour sessions 4-tabling 6max without any problems when I'm on my A game. If I find myself needing to quit it's because I'm losing focus and I'm afraid I'm going to start playing like crap and destroy my whole session. I think that's why my win rate has improved dramatically lately. I've been playing shorter sessions and avoiding those mistakes that wipe out a whole good session which I used to make with some regularity.

How often does everyone else on here play? How long are your typical sessions? How much is too much?

Too much poker? Blasphemy!! Go immediately to your backyard and sacrifice a sheep, shave your head and say 2,000,000 "Hail Doyle's" while praying to the poker gods for forgiveness.

If you can't find a sheep, your girlfriends cat will do.

I love poker, but don't have much fun with it anymore. I hate playing so low that I'm like a robot. I can rarely put successful plays on anybody. I'm gonna go cry.

Re: How much is too much?(low content)
 

Why don't you just 'take a shot' instead?

Re: How much is too much?(low content)
 

I'd have 2 buyins at a level where anything anything matters. I'd rather rarely enjoy playing at lower limits, grinding up, then be broke.

Re: How much is too much?(low content)
 

Ah, okay. Then just grind out NL100 I guess. But I definitely would encourage taking a shot when you can. I technically wasn't super bankrolled for NL200 when I started playing it but it has worked out very well for me. And I plan on taking a shot at NL400 as soon as I feel comfortable at NL200. Cheers.

Re: How much is too much?(low content)
 

Yeah, I think you guys officially have a problem...

Having said that, I'm actually thinking about playing poker now instead of watching the Cubs game. But then I would know I was just as much of a mess as you guys...lol

By the way, I probably play 15-18 hours a week, and I do find myself having to limit myself or else I would do nothing but play poker all week.
