How do you psychologically prepare yourself to play 100k hands in a month? Do you play long sessions? Several shorter ones? Is this stamina somethng you've always had, or built up to?

What a pain in the ass. Use this. Replace FucTan with your sn.

SELECT players.screen_name, players_1.screen_name, game_players.vol_put_money_in_pot, game_players.won_hand, game_players.rbet, game_players.rcall, game_players.rraise, game.pot
FROM players INNER JOIN (game INNER JOIN ((game_players AS game_players_1 INNER JOIN game_players ON game_players_1.game_id = game_players.game_id) INNER JOIN players AS players_1 ON game_players.player_id = players_1.player_id) ON game.game_id = game_players.game_id) ON players.player_id = game_players_1.player_id
WHERE (((players_1.screen_name)="fuktan2206") AND ((game_players.rbet)=0) AND ((game_players.rcall)=1) AND ((game_players.rraise)=0));

If you use SQL version of PT, open the SQL manager. Login. Click the sql button, paste the stuff I wrote. Replace fuktan2206 with your name. Change the " to ' also. Click the green run button.

If you can run this, it will display all the hands where you called on the river, and the pot size. I've done a ton of analysis of river play. Calling river check raises/raises, calling river 3-bets. It's all been rather useless suprisingly.

If you use access, it won't work.

Everything was profitable. Your natural inclination is that you are calling too many river bets or too many river raises because you don't feel like you win very often. The truth turned out to be calling with raises/check raises was very profitable for me no matter how I sliced the data. I sliced by hand rank and even 1 pair was profitable. I sliced by pot size and 4BB all the way to 12BB pots were profitable.

Everything was profitable so my conclusion was, "Well it doesn't look like I'm calling too much. There is a chance I'm calling too little. I don't think I'll modify my game at all". And I didn't.
