How do you put in the hours?
 

Playing online poker, for me, it's quite boring. I can't play for more than 1-2 hours without being bored out of my mind. I usually 4 table low-limit games (.5/1) and I do quite well (running at around 5BB/100 over 10K), however, I don't put in the amount of hours that I should (if I'm lucky, I put in 8 hours a week).

So 2+2'ers, any suggestions on how to put in the hours without getting bored?

If you're playing .5/1, you're obviously playing for fun, and maybe a little extra spending cash, not for a living. So why put in more hours if it's not fun? Play as much as you enjoy.

Because I love money and $12 an hour is twice as much as minimum wage..

when its your only income, its an easy decision. work or starve.

play more tables or move up in limits if BR allows.

well, my living situation is quite comfortable. currently a college student at a local college. Father pays for school. I live with my father also and pay:

no rent
no food bills
Have no car, so don't need to worry about car/insurance/gas


Basically, the only time I spend money is when I hang out with friends.

So, help me out guys.

Also, my BR is around $1-1200 so I could move to 1/2 6 max and 2/4 full, however the idea of losing $100 in 30 minutes or less sounds less than appetizing [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

whatever motivates you.

Move to $1/$2 6 max and use the excel chart that's out there. You'll be fine.

Thanks, but this isn't about bankroll management, it's about putting in hours.

Is there a specific chart just for poker players/

Move up in the limit and experience the rush of variance. Also, you are probably getting bored because you are making a few dollars. Take a stab at a higher limit and you might think Poker is the greatest thing on earth.
