Average Session

[blunty31]

How long does an average session for you last timewise? Whats the longest you guys have played, how did you feel?

[bottomset]

mine tend to be between 1-2hrs 8/9tabling

longest was 6hrs, I rarely go past 2hrs though

[blunty31]

It seems I hit a wall at 2 hours, where I just start playing really bad, really impatient, but if I break through the wall which last about half hour, I ussually regain my concentration and could play for another 2-3 hours no problem. The funny thing is I could take a 15 min break and then play another 2 hours no problem. Longest I played was about 6 hours.

I try to play as long as possible because:

1)I will profit from the inherent value of having big stacks
2)I will have better reads on my opponents

So, I will often play 4hr+ sessions. I just wish that Stars allowed you to return to the tables with your big stack after more than the current 30 minute break.

I didnt know there was an inherent value at having a big stack at a cash table. What are they?

Deeper you are has no value if villains are all at 100bb's; however, if you have 300 bb's and 2 villains have you covered your expectation has increased if you have an edge on villains.

To OP. Average probably 5 hours. Longest 20 hours.

Any tricks you have to help your concentration?

[futuredoc85]

my average is like 3-4 hours. i usually just quit whenever i feel like im playing bad. longest is probably like 20+ hrs back when i played sngs and tourneys, probably 12-13 at cash games.

[Push_Fold]

I play till I reach 1000 hands. Usually takes me about 1.5hrs 12 tabling to do this. Days I feel motivated I do this 3 times over otherwise once or twice and I get sick of playing.

[Kevroc]

about 4 hrs a night on average 2-4 tables.
