You have a point that 8 hours of poker isn't exactly 8 hours in real life.

To be as efficient as I can, I keep every session to 3-4 hours.

So, that's 3-4 hours without any kind of break, not even to run to the bathroom, or to eat (except maybe an apple or a banana or something)

A typical workday for me looks like this: get up, [censored], eat, 4 hours of poker, bathroom, eat, 3 hours of poker, work out (jogging/running or lifting weights or something), shower, eat, and then (if needed) another 3-4 hour session.

You need to be very effective like this to put in a lot of hours, otherwise those 44-hour weeks suddenly turns into 66 hour-weeks, and it gets even more draining...

I still haven't landed on a final schedule for my 44-hour weeks, but I think it's pretty likely that I'm doing 4 11-hour days (with the program I described above) and then I have 3 days off per week off for less antisocial behaviour [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

In theory, that doesn't sound all that bad, does it?

- 4 days of pretty hard (psychologically and emotionally) and draining, antisocial work
- 3 days off (weekends) do to whatever I want

And I even get to take 6-7 weeks off spread throughout the year.

Sounds like an attractive deal to me [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
