Default Re: Fatigue and length of play time

I am very surprised at the responses. When I was young and in love with the game I would play 7-stud for a minimum of 12 hours and my record is 36 hours. I cant believe you young players dont put in marathon sessions to get the money.

I can't speak for anywhere but Vegas and Los Angeles. In Los Angeles, the games are always there. Always. In Vegas, there are also usually good games availble, but in a certain window each week, month, etc. With the exception of WSOP time, this window is usually 8-12 hours a day max. So there is no point to putting in burnout sessions.

Is this because the post poker boom players are lazy?
Possibly but it is most likely because of the nature of the games played. To make a good score in 10-20 20-40 limit games you often have to put in huge hours to make the money. In a NL cash game you tend to get the money much quicker since mistakes cost the fish so much more.

This doesn't make any sense.
