I hope this poll has not been created before.
I don't think I play enough and just want to see how others are doing. What is the minimum number of hands to successfully progress? Any thoughts? |

I tried to play 500 hands a day when I wasn't working. Now that I'm working, I'm down to 150-200 per day. So I guess a rough estimate now is about 1000/week.

During the summer I was playing about 500-600 a day, but now that school is on and I'm also working on grad school apps, I barely have time to get in some on the weekends.

[/ QUOTE ] Your poll is confusing because it asks a question different from the one your subject asks. Fortunately, my answer for both is the same. I'm probably playing 1-100 hands a week at this point. And that's all you need to successfully progress. Within any span of 100 hands, there are probably 5-10 where you made a substantial error and 15-20 where you could have taken a different line and potentially have been more profitable (based on table conditions, player specific reads, and those sorts of things). If you studied these 20-30 hands carefully every week, you'll be a solid player in 3 months, if not a little sooner. |

Usually only 5000-6000 a week but the last 3 days I've played ~3000/day trying to get out of this rut im in.

[ QUOTE ] I'd urge you to reassess your plan [/ QUOTE ] why? [/ QUOTE ] That's a hell of a lot of hands. Few people are able to sustain that sort of pace for any length of time unless they're playing many tables. Even 8-tabling it makes for a fairly long day, and it's a huge jump for someone not used putting in that much table time. I also got the feeling that his rut involved not doing as well as he wanted to be, but that might have been an error on my part. I might just be alone in finding it hard to put in that many hours for any length of time without significant drop off in my play. Guess it depends on what his goals are. If it's purely about maxing out hourly expectation and aggressively multitabling is something they're good at, more power to them. My point was simply that there are relatively few plans which rely on playing 3000 hands/day for any length of time that will result in a happy, rut free poker player on the the other end. If this one is an exception, happy days. |
