i play 2-5 k 6 tabling or 5-10k 9 tabling....... but i usually try to only play 3-5 days a week. 60k-100k hands a month. Ive been doing this for the better part of 3 years, if you feel burnout, take a break for awhile, thats normal, but as long as you love the game and keep getting better then you shouldnt get burnout with a balanced lifestyle

lol. Would I be 12-tabling 4000 hands a day with a balanced lifestyle? I do take heart that you've been able to maintain this pace over the long term. I've found a formula that I'm comfortable with, that's been my only concern. I go 5 days or so myself.

If you're learning I suggest 2 tables instead of 8-12?

I'm not getting any younger, hence the accelerated learning curve. I got started late with poker but I did play a lot of chess from the time I was fairly young so I well understand the strategic concepts of adversarial give and take. Also I'm not new to the game, I've got in a few hundred-thousand hands including play money.

It takes awhile but it does become rote. I'm sure I'm giving up some quality for quantity, but I'm happy with the 16.0 PTBB/100 I have over the last 80,000 or so hands.

You make 16BB/100 over 80k hands while 8 to 12 tabling??? At what level?

Side question: is xPTBB/100 the same as xBB/100? Is this a LHE "Big Bet" v. NLHE "Big Blind" issue?

Mostly .01/.02 but I play up to .10/.25 (I usually 4-table the higher micros).

The PTBB and NLHEBB are not the same, but I never have gotten the conversion straight (you double one or the other).

PTBB is "PokerTracker Big BET"

if that helps you remember.

I 4 table 50NL and get through between 1000-2000 hands a day right now.

I knew that, but I don't know why they are different specifically. It's one of those things I just never looked into. I think I've heard the regular BB/100 is twice the PTBB/100.

Re: How many hands do you play daily..
 

Not enough (4K hands a day)

Re: How many hands do you play daily..
 

How do you people play more than 4 tables at a time? It just stops being fun for me, I loose concentration.

Re: How many hands do you play daily..
 

I play about 2k a day 8-10 tableing. My longest session was 7k hands. During a normal session I take alot of killer beats and that tends to keep my hand counts down as I start to lose my mindstate after a few full buyin beats. I played 60k hands last month.

Re: How many hands do you play daily..
 

I play 3-4k daily 8 tabling. That's about all I can handle because I have a short attention span.
