also, i spend on avg 5 hrs a day sweating other people and going over hands with them. i def spend more time watching other play poker and discussing THEIR hands than playing my own. i need to work on that.

i also do this a lot...who are your favorite players to sweat/discuss hands with? I've often found that sweating players who play higher stakes than you or approach the game from a different theoretical standpoint is very valueable. You see them making plays you never would and it just adds another dimension to your game.

A) 2 hours
B) 5 hours

Varies alot though.

where is option C, sleep/dream about poker?

i'd say the only way to be good is to be completely addicted

if you call it "study" you're not looking at it right. reading/thinking/analyzing/talking poker is like drinking water to a lot of us.
