Re: How much is too much?(low content)
I just finished up a 70 hour week (Fri-Fri), and it was brutal. By Friday night I just had to do something other than think/read/post/talk about/play poker. I can't imagine doing this consistently, but I know the feeling, anyway.
I actually thought that playing this much would wear me out or make me disinterested, but I still wake up every morning (ok, afternoon) wanting to play. So I'm not tired of it yet. Oh yeah, and I two- or three-table; nothing crazy like these 8- and 12-tablers. But yeah, the poker dreams...

[/ QUOTE ] I can actually play 8 hour sessions 4-tabling 6max without any problems when I'm on my A game. If I find myself needing to quit it's because I'm losing focus and I'm afraid I'm going to start playing like crap and destroy my whole session. I think that's why my win rate has improved dramatically lately. I've been playing shorter sessions and avoiding those mistakes that wipe out a whole good session which I used to make with some regularity.

How often does everyone else on here play? How long are your typical sessions? How much is too much? [/ QUOTE ] Too much poker? Blasphemy!! Go immediately to your backyard and sacrifice a sheep, shave your head and say 2,000,000 "Hail Doyle's" while praying to the poker gods for forgiveness. If you can't find a sheep, your girlfriends cat will do. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: How much is too much?(low content)
I love poker, but don't have much fun with it anymore. I hate playing so low that I'm like a robot. I can rarely put successful plays on anybody. I'm gonna go cry.

Re: How much is too much?(low content)
Why don't you just 'take a shot' instead?

Re: How much is too much?(low content)
Ah, okay. Then just grind out NL100 I guess. But I definitely would encourage taking a shot when you can. I technically wasn't super bankrolled for NL200 when I started playing it but it has worked out very well for me. And I plan on taking a shot at NL400 as soon as I feel comfortable at NL200. Cheers.

Re: How much is too much?(low content)
Yeah, I think you guys officially have a problem...
Having said that, I'm actually thinking about playing poker now instead of watching the Cubs game. But then I would know I was just as much of a mess as you guys...lol By the way, I probably play 15-18 hours a week, and I do find myself having to limit myself or else I would do nothing but play poker all week.
