OT: How do you avoid \"burnout\"?
Mainly for those who regularly play 30+ SNGs in a day.
For me, I have 2 methods. 1. I give myself a lofty target of 10 buy-ins in a day. If I hit 10 buy-ins profit then I consider it a good day and take the rest off and come back tomorrow. 2. If I feel I'm playing badly or tilting or just tired, I see this as a good sign to say sayonara for the day. Do any of you practice any anti-burnout plans? |

Re: OT: How do you avoid \"burnout\"?
I have a fun hobby, driving my car on a racetrack every other weekend for 2 or 3 days. And instructing others in high performance driving. Heading to Watkins Glen tomorrow for 3 days, then Summit Point the following weekend for 2 or 3 days. Other weekends I travel to visit friends or they visit me. Dinner with my father and stepsister once or twice a week.
If I find myself making bad decisions for whatever reason, I take a break. |

If I make two really bad mistakes I am almost always done, one is usually enough to do it if I have been playing for a while. |

cmon just 10 buyins never lets you hit some really sick wins
i agree, being tired is definitely a reason to stop. twice now since the summer i've literally been falling asleep and just decided i'd stop as soon as the current ones end, but then of course don't feel as tired anymore :{} |

[/ QUOTE ] Well if I used this method I wouldn't get past my first set each day. I avoid burnout by looking at my ROI, then realizing if I keep playing then I'll make more money. Money is a good enough motivator to keep me playing. |

a good way is to set a yearly or monthly or weekly sng goal that's, if anything, a little light (at least to start) so you can feel like you're accomplsihing something and don't feel bad because you're going out instead of playing as you can still reach your goals

Re: OT: How do you avoid \"burnout\"?
i can usually have a good feel for whether i am playing well or not. if i feel like i am playing poorly (due to whatever reason) i might quit for the day. but if i'm playing well then i dont see any reason to quit, unless of course, bold and the beautiful is on.
