Same here.

I honestly don't understand the whole mindset. I do 20-25 hours a week with a fulltime job.

I also know a couple other semi-regular posters around my age here who do the same. I really don't consider it a hardship. Even if you are 8-tabling (I only do 4), I still think there is no excuse for not at least hitting 24 hours a week.

I mean is it really that hard to play (2) 2.5 hour shifts 5 days a week?

I'm not following the PT train of thought. What exactly are you doing with PT? You're checking your PT results more frequently? Isn't this counter to the Tiltblocker concept?

I must be stupid, but I'm not getting what you are getting at. Can someone clarify for me what it is that I am not understanding?

Let me guess. You've gone thru a downswing, poker is painful, you're not playing, etc. Drop down a level, grind it out. Just do it. Stop whining. You dont need inspiration, you need perspiration.

Where in my post did I whine or mention a downswing? I wrote a positive, constructive post outlining 4 changes I will implement to better myself as a man and a poker player.

No, I'm setting my PT to update 1/minute while adjusting it's CPU priority to below normal. This makes looking at stats unbearable because the program freezes constantly while it imports.

But why are you looking at your stats constantly? Doesn't that go against the whole tiltblocker concept? Why not just import to PT at the end of each session?

Sorry Jeff, I feel like I might just be missing entirely what you're trying to say on this one.

He's saying he's taking measures to make sure he doesn't look at his stats. He probably needs to continuously import while playing so that Playerview can update.

Yup, gotcha. I just thought from his post there was some de-tilt strategy he was using by checking PT more often, and that sounded backwards, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't something I was missing that may be a good idea to incorporate myself!
