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.

[/ 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.

Re: OT: How do you avoid \"burnout\"?
Well IMO I don't play too much. I feel confident that i can play up to 8 hours continously with my A poker game. But if I ever play more than that in a day I split it up into 2 sessions. Usually I just try to play 5 or 6 hours a day though, and I haven't got burnt out yet. I think it depends on the person on what the best method of not getting burnt out is.

Re: OT: How do you avoid \"burnout\"?
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 :{}
