Default Re: How long do you play for?

I typically 4 table 4 - 5 hour sessions. I play 4 - 5 times a week. I have very good concentration and focus so this isn't a problem for me, but any longer than that and I start to get distracted and disinterested. I find that music / singing (yes I sing when playing sometimes [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) helps me deal with bad beats pretty effectively, and I can stop and concentrate if I come across a tough decision. The play at these levels is so robotic that I can play well enough even with the music most of the time.

My advice is to set aside a certain period of time and just play come rain, hell or rivered gutshot. Quitting after you're up 5BBs is horrible imo. I don't see how you'd ever turn a profit.
