(kind of LC) how to improve mental fortitude?

This is an easy way out to fix the problem but it really lessens the hands we put in each month if we all follow that.

Maybe

For me what that basically means is not playing more than 2 serious days in a row (but each person has a different tolerance I'm sure). Also, I pretty much only play longer sessions (5+ hours) if I'm going to sit down to play at all. I still manage to put in more hands than most here I believe.

i think hoopster has a valid point though. last year i was 4 tabling putting in ~30k hands a month and i was running ~7ptbb over a large sample. this year ive been putting in way more hands, more tables, tried to force hands and at times this year my winrate has definitely suffered (1.5ptbb over my first 100k hands this year). i wouldnt be surprised if people made more money playing the way he did rather than trying to get in 100k hands a month (reef).

I used to 10 table to 100k hands/month back in the Party days. I wasn't playing more hours than now, just more tables. My enjoyment level was probably about the same. I only gave it up because I couldn't hack it above 600NL playing that style after Party crashed.

play less tables and take breaks every ~2 hours.

also if you know why you get into these ruts that would help solve the problem.
