How do you people play sessions longer than 2 hours.

[/ QUOTE ]
rofl? My standard session is ~7 hours, I wish I could play shorter sessions...

[/ QUOTE ]

What limits do u play? i ask because it seems the grinders at 200nl and lower generally play alot longer than the 400nl+ guys.

I try to play 3 hour sessions...2 a day.

[captainwacky]

I just sat down at a full ring cash game table for literally the first time in my entire online life. I don't think this will go well.

I would do a 1k-2k hu tourney, although it would probably only prove that my winrate at HU is mostly due to hardcore game selection.

[Tomcruise]

since oct. 1st
ive played 45k hands of 2/4nl 6max for 8k$ profit...2.2ptbb...a variance filled stretch but i wont complain......whats got me kinda depressed though??...I'm overall only up 2k$ in that time span due to the following
-3k in online donkaments
-1.5k in 1/2nl HU drunk
-1k in 3/6 nl 6max shot with a stop loss
-500 playing plo

I don't regret the 3/6 shot with a stop loss, bc i wanna move up eventually...and i dont know how i feel about the donkaments....i won a sunday major bout a year ago ftp, and have done well in the supers etc.....but recently ive gotten engrossed with cash and have done well and i like the fact that i can have + months everymonth with cash.....I guess just looking at these #'s today got me questioning if i can make this work long term....
bottom line...eliminate donkaments and i know 100k a year is possible playing the msnl as most of all you know, but the donkaments are so fun and are the thing that i really love in poker...where i got my start etc. etc. OK, JUST SEEING IF ANYBODY HERE CAN RELATE.

*overall since my start in cash in the beg. of sept though ive beaten nl 2/4 6max for 4.1ptbb/100 over 59k hands.

thougts appreciated.

*and yes i got destroyed the past two days hence the reflection posts, and was like right on the money bubble of ftop 1.

THANKS

[pdoran10]

The stop loss was based on my Roll for that particlar site. Made a rule that I'd take a shot above a certain point(10k), and then imed. move back down if I went below 10k., Figured I can rinse and repeat till i never go back at some point.
