It's been a long 14 hours, maybe even 16. I don't know, i can't really count right now. My wrist is numb, my back aches, and my fingers are sore. Hell, i don't even know what day of the week it is.
All i know is, i'm tired, and i want to go to bed.
That's what happens when you run these tireless, automatic programs in your mind for the entire day. It's all just non-stop clicking, and once you get it, you kind of get it. It's not high school physics, it's not university math, and it sure as hell isn't computer fucking science.
But for a suffering, ADD-ridden, post-college graduate, who barely made his way out of university due to his excessive habits of weed smoking, having to pay attention to exactly what your opponent is trying to do, and to try and counter his strategy as quickly as possible, is no easy task. It requires constant awareness and reassessment, and i now realized that it took about a full TWO HOURS after my session, to really calm down and go back to baseline.
So if i have to talk more about this game... this game of pennies and nickels... i'm going to go jump off a goddamned cliff.
I think it's time to take a breather. It's not all about making it to the top. We love what we do, we enjoy our freedom, and we channel our instincts. But at the end of the day, it's time to reconnect with our selves, the you that is you, and let it all go. And not try and rip each other's throats out on the other ends of the screen.

I think there are extremely few circumstances where you should be playing 16 hour sessions of poker in an online environment.
Live, sure, gotta be there when the recs are there... but online IMO it's a pretty huge waste of time to play such long sessions. Play way shorter sessions, put in time with solvers/other forms of study, and make sure you sleep/exercise.
There's no SNE anymore, quality volume > quantity volume. Just my 2 cents. |

good read
I remember back in the days i never really could keep focus on the game, no matter how many tables I played eventually I kept drifting away and went autopilot while reading news sites, watching streams etc....it was still enough to slightly beat NL200 to make decent money |
