How do you put in the hours?
Playing online poker, for me, it's quite boring. I can't play for more than 1-2 hours without being bored out of my mind. I usually 4 table low-limit games (.5/1) and I do quite well (running at around 5BB/100 over 10K), however, I don't put in the amount of hours that I should (if I'm lucky, I put in 8 hours a week).
So 2+2'ers, any suggestions on how to put in the hours without getting bored?

Re: How do you put in the hours?
If you're playing .5/1, you're obviously playing for fun, and maybe a little extra spending cash, not for a living. So why put in more hours if it's not fun? Play as much as you enjoy.

when its your only income, its an easy decision. work or starve. play more tables or move up in limits if BR allows. [/ QUOTE ] well, my living situation is quite comfortable. currently a college student at a local college. Father pays for school. I live with my father also and pay: no rent no food bills Have no car, so don't need to worry about car/insurance/gas Basically, the only time I spend money is when I hang out with friends. So, help me out guys. Also, my BR is around $1-1200 so I could move to 1/2 6 max and 2/4 full, however the idea of losing $100 in 30 minutes or less sounds less than appetizing [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].

Move up in the limit and experience the rush of variance. Also, you are probably getting bored because you are making a few dollars. Take a stab at a higher limit and you might think Poker is the greatest thing on earth.

The higher the limits, the more winning means I think. The more you enjoy it too.
Its like, you steal a blind at 1-2 its like mmmm a pop. You steal blinds at 10-20 its like dinner. You steal at 100-200 its like you stole gawdamn christmas

Re: How do you put in the hours?
Hey I sorta understand what you mean. For the longest time I would just play 8 $22's a day, and crush'em for a good profit. I had no desire to play more, or less and was content. I was constantly thinking I should play more to see if I can keep up my rate, and make more money.
Eventually I just started playing more multi table tournaments, and that's where I am today. Try to learn a new game, limit omaha hi/lo is great, or you could try out tournaments. Poker's great cause of the variety, try something new!
