Re: Poker stamina for multiple table players
You might want to see how long you can 4 table. If it is more than twice what you can 8 table, it might be worth switching.

Re: Poker stamina for multiple table players
Eh I lose focus like 15 minutes in. I have trouble playing more than 250 hands. I force myself to play at least 500 sometimes. Maybe I need to play at a limit that'll make me sweat.

In my experience, i'm not playing optimally within the first 30-60 minutes, i need some warm up time. After this i'm hot. I haven't really reached a point were mental fatigue kicks in, the bad beat tilt usually takes care of this. [/ QUOTE ] I agree. For the first few minutes or so when Im getting everything set and opened up I dont seem to do all that well. But after taking down a few pots I can play 8 tables of 3/6 for about 3 hrs then I take a break. To stay sharp I try to find a really horrible player at a few of my tables and make sure to bleed them any way possible. It makse the game more personal to me if I have one person(or more) on each table that I can think of as unique(sp). |

If you're tired, try an energy drink. Rockstar is great. [/ QUOTE ] This stuff is the nuts. 2x the size of redbull for the same price. I LOVE it, and am most likely dependent on it. |

Re: Poker stamina for multiple table players
I agree with cutting down on number of tables.
If I feel like taking a nap I take a nap. Also - putting in some music is helpful for me. I might play 1 or 2 tournaments and 2 or 3 ring-games. If youcan handle the differences in the games (I'm playing NL tourneys...but limit-ring) then the variety can help keep you entertained perhaps. 8 tables of the same freaking thing just seems too boring to me and I'm not sure how those who do it are able to pull it off. Also - I seem to remember from the Absolute thread that your numbers are a bit on the weak-tight side....so it sounds like you are playing kind of a mindless and boring form of poker for the most part. Get that VP up and gain some EV on each of you tables. try playing short-handed tables and increasing your aggression. Try doing this on just 2 or 3 tables. Poker can be more exciting this way if you just let it be interesting. You'll be a better player too. But mostly it's about caffeine and some music. I am generally having the same problem. Last week I was having trouble sleeping before my Friday WSOP tourney. Then I thought of a great way to wind-down and crash-out: "I know!! I'll just play 3 or 4 tables of online poker. That ALWAYS makes me sleepy!!" It worked. |

[/ QUOTE ] This isn't exhaustion - it's boredom. I think a lot of players who have been aruond a couple of years or so face this. Not all, but a lot. I find full tabling really boring now, and rarely watch any of the action unless it's my turn to act. ElSapo |
