Re: Peak performance poll
[ QUOTE ]
I play my best when I have a read, which allows me to get comfortable (literally), sit back, and just play. I still look at every showdown, every pot worth a damn, etc. But it's possible to play peak for 8-9 hours even if you're not watching EVERY motion EVERY player makes, since you've been playing with them for several hours.

This shows a misunderstanding in what playing at peak performance means. Playing at peak performance, isn't just playing at a high level, or playing winning poker. When someone asks how long can you play at peak performance, they are asking you how long can you maintain playing at your absolute best (the peak of your ability). While I believe many of us can still play at a high level or at least play winning poker 8 hours into a session, at this point you will not be playing at 100% of your ability. It may only be a slight decline, but thats still a decline.
