Title: How long do you play? Post by: Maroon on September 19, 2005, 09:48:43 AM I normally only play for 1-3 each day in STT and cash. Don't play many MTTs so don't often get into marathon sessions. Sometimes, due to family/work commitments I may not play for nearky a week but try to play most days if I can.
What about you? Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: RED-DOG on September 19, 2005, 10:04:03 AM 10 hours+

Mrs blackbeard is a happy bunny since i bought a laptop and set up a wireless connection (no more tuked away in the upstairs bedroom, playing alone in....very lonely) Saything that, an awful weekend for me, in fact the worst ever....playing like I was 22 months ago when I first embraced online poker! Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: TightEnd on September 19, 2005, 10:07:35 AM 10 hours+ 1 hour playing, 9 hours plus posting on here? Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: Blackbeard on September 19, 2005, 10:08:56 AM Hi red Dog.
As a new member, you dont mind me asking ....Do you play for a living ? 10 hours plus Well I presume you do! :) Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: TightEnd on September 19, 2005, 10:12:38 AM Red Dog is actually a comedian on the Midlands circuit. Since his living dried up with the demise of the Working Mens clubs, he turned to poker. Meanwhile, he guards his little black book of jokes with his life and occasionally treats us to a few of them
Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: RED-DOG on September 19, 2005, 10:22:14 AM Hi red Dog. As a new member, you dont mind me asking ....Do you play for a living ? 10 hours plus Well I presume you do! :) Well, I decided to give it a try, I've allowed myself one year or until my bankroll runs out, after that I will re evaluate Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: snoopy1239 on September 19, 2005, 10:54:25 AM Red Dog is actually a comedian on the Midlands circuit. You're mixing him up with Bob Carolgies again. ;) Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: snoopy1239 on September 19, 2005, 10:54:52 AM 4-6 hrs - Cash games.
Play the odd multi. Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: Karabiner on September 19, 2005, 12:08:40 PM I'm in the 4-6 hours per day group too, although 4-9 would be more accurate.
I used to play more, 10+ but that was almost entirely cash. I'm playing a lot more MTT's now, and less cash. Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: riverdave on September 19, 2005, 01:14:21 PM More than 10 hours a day comfortably but i'm a sicko. Just had 3 days in Barcelona with no internet so i'm making up for it now. The internet is amuch safer place for me worst case scenario i do all my money with 3 days of no internet i rediscovered 2 of lifes real evils namely women and alcohol, whatever next. ;)
Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: TightEnd on September 19, 2005, 01:15:23 PM stay away from the bad crowd then riverdave!!
we saw the pictures!!!! Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: snoopy1239 on September 19, 2005, 01:16:21 PM I'd like to know who plays professionally and how they're getting on.
10 hrs sounds pro to me. :) Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: The Baron on September 19, 2005, 01:42:50 PM Depends. Ususally 10+ but can be as low as 4 - 6 hours if I'm having a slow, card dead day or I have plans.
Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: ACE2M on September 19, 2005, 04:28:10 PM Not looking for detailed accounts or anything red-dog but how does Red fund currently stand, i know you had a great start but is it still looking like a viable option?
Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: Scottish Dave on September 19, 2005, 04:45:15 PM 4-6 hours per day
At weekends tho, i can see me running for between 7-15 hours depending if im tired or not! Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: RED-DOG on September 19, 2005, 05:03:45 PM It seems to be going ok, discounting my purple patch, I'm not making a fortune but it would be a reasonable wage if I can sustain it
Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: ACE2M on September 19, 2005, 05:52:02 PM excellent. gl to ya.
Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: tikay on September 19, 2005, 07:07:17 PM Nottrs tonight Red?
Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: RobS on September 19, 2005, 08:55:02 PM I admit to being in the 10+ hours club aswell. I stay awake all night to catch the American evening and sleep all day while you lot are at work.
Going to Oz for 6 months fairly soon which as far as I can work out is the must user-friendly time zone for catching the American evening. When I'm there I will certainly not be in the 10+ hour club any longer ;D Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: The Truth on September 19, 2005, 09:06:19 PM 2.36 minutes
Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: AdamM on September 20, 2005, 12:05:47 AM often 10+ for me, though the PC is in the same room as the shirt press so I'm making shirts, promoting the company, on the phone to suppliers at the same time. course a few live sessions comfortably puts me well above 70 hours a week
Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: Royal Flush on September 20, 2005, 10:08:23 AM 2.36 minutes Dont be fooled people, Davey manages 2 tournaments and still has time for a couple of hands in a cash game in that time. Title: Re: How long do you play? Post by: tonytay8 on September 20, 2005, 05:01:50 PM I try to do about a couple of hours each day on average in 10 and 20 tournaments but do like the big 5$ ones just to test the patienec and mix things up.
I think the trick is to find something that suits you. eg 6 paks - 10 paks tournament to get a place elsewhere etc. |
