Scheduling for optimal play

Ais... sounds like that wouldn't work for ya, with the hours you can sanely play... Trick is, is 8 hours of play per day, 2 days a week enough to get your live jones...???

I'm not sure how you're life goes (ie... day job, family responsibilities, other such crap...), but if you got nothin better to do, why not try 2 overnight trips... That'll be 4 nights a week, which is basically what you're playin now... You're STILL gettin the poker rate, so it doesn't cost TOO much... And, that way, if you don't feel like playin at the hotel for a little while, you can chill out at the pool... Try to pick up girls at the bar... whatever... Not sooo much pressure... Like "shit, I'm only playin once this week... I gotta get in my hours..."...

Honestly, I have the exact opposite situation as you... I generally can't get a great feel for the table for a couple hours, and actually play MUCH better in the 8+ hours than I do in the first or second...

Yeah, I'll have to experiment around with this. I will say that on my first day the 8 hour mark is usually pretty good. I'm still pretty fresh and, as you guys mention, have a very good feel for the table--a definite advantage to long sessions.

Anyhow, I think I'll try something along these lines this week and see how things go.
