Those long boring sessions....

[Big Bend]

I've played online enough to know how you can literally go hundrends of hands without getting a single thing to play. No biggie, thats poker, be patient, etc.. But in live play, that often translates to many many hours of just sitting there folding and folding and folding. Besides studying opponents, how else do you keep from getting bored to tears?

Live play is great when having fun and you're getting cards, but I'm increasingly intollerant of the down times in live play when there is nothing to do but fold for hours it seems. Its very hard to keep from loosening up in those times... I guess my love of online 6-max games, often 3-4 at a time, has made it more difficult recently to play live action.. which does kinda suck.

Suggestions, perspectives, etc appreciated.. thx.. BB
