Default Re: Count-Down to SN Elite Chase!!

I'm at 18k VPP's and haven't even played today whereas I was planning to knock down a few thousand. Just didn't get around to it.


For those comparing online-poker to other jobs:
It's not like online-poker is THAT hard, but it does take concentration.
And remember that 8 hours at a 'regular' job is not the same as 8 hours of online-poker.

When I sit-out at my tables to make some coffee or talk on the phone or whatever those are 5 or more minutes that I'm NOT working.

Most regular jobs it's not like you have to clock-out for exactly the 2 minutes and 23 seconds you went to the bathroom or whatever.

And when you come back to the online-tables it takes a little while before the blind comes back around to you and you get started up again.


If you NEVER sit-out at all and play every single hand for 8 hours then it's comparable.
But the little breaks DO add up.
And for me I think I get in 3.5 hours or less of work in a 4-hour 'session' from various coffee or telephone or throw-something-in-the-microave breaks that I take.
