For you Tilt Blocker users, does it tell you when you get low on chips and need to reload?

No, but I buyin with 50BB and I've never been in a hand and ran out of chips.

I can totally relate to the OP. This summer I had about a 3 week period where I actually put in a good number of hours. I was able to do it because I set a schedule of playing 9-12AM and 2-5PM 5 days a week, and forcing myself to play these exact hours, no more, no less.

Sometimes the games were not great, but it was by far the easiest way for me to put in 6 hours a day. It was also a great feeling to be "done with work" at 5PM and hang out with my friends like a normal person.

Some events happened that threw this schedule out of whack, but as soon as I get settled down again I will try to get into the habit again.

Ban yourself from posting until you've played the required number of hours for the day.

Something you can do with Pokertracker that I do. Mine never lags so I just resize the window from the right to the left until all I can see is how many hands I have played for the day. I've stopped looking at daily results recently, I just look at weekly and monthly. When I have finished playing I just shut the "stats" window down and do something else.

You can check your VPIP, went to sd, won at, pfr easily, but you have to use the horizontal scroll fast so you don't see your results.

I find this thread to be quite interesting. For you guys who can't get in more than 15 hours a week, i'm curious what you find yourself doing for the rest of the week. If i didn't have a job and that's all the time i spent playing, i would probably be bored out of my mind.

I found i averaged about 25 hours/week last month, but felt i wasn't playing as much as i could be.

I can't wait to get back to it.
