Default Re: Any food alternatives for those super long sessions?

I think you have a condition called glue tilt. Whats wrong with sitting out an entire rotation when your food appears to enjoy your meal? I think your play will improve if you take at least a 10-15 minute break every 2 hours. Trust me on this one, on your next session take an out button when your food arrives.

You can get food comps at Hustler (6-12 Kill), Normandie (8-16 Kill), HP, and the Bike (8-16)

If you're going to take an occasional break (which I agree is a good idea) better to eat your food while playing and take about a fifteen minute walk after. IMO few things are worse for your metabolism and body than sitting after eating.

So lately ive been these super sick long sessions at the hawaiian gardens 8/16. Cause when you get stuck, you gotta grind it back.

Yeah, you never know which day HG might close down. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Seriously, eat less often; most people have less hunger when eating fewer carbs (e.g., have your sandwich with fruit instead of fries). Also you young guys need to get out of your seat once in a while and walk around before your legs turn to jelly.

As an aside IMO food at HG is the best of the major clubs but I agree it's a hassle eating in the wrong spots (the tables are too close together throughout most of the casino).

Getting up for a 15-20 minute break and walking around every few hours is a great recommendation, regardless of what you choose to do regarding food.

When I was living in Vegas for a while I had a small cooler that would fit a couple sandwiches, an ice pack, a banana, hand sanatizer, etc. It looked like a brief case and worked really well. I eat power bars, cereal bars and fruit. I get hungry every couple hours and when I'm hungry I don't play as well so I try to stay satisfied.

I'm thinking about getting a backpack and packing a lunch in tupperware.

Was down $300 right at the start, then went on a little heater and came up over $500, then amazing i lost the $500 and then got stuck a rack by started getting coolered and dwindled down, and then finally got up over $300 and left. It was insane.

$500 swings back and forth at 8/16 is only 31BB's. I don't think this kind of variance can be described as 'insane'.
seems like your biggest swings were in the 50 bb range which still isn't that insane, is it?
