TheCincinnatiKid 0 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Helpful aids for long online sessions and days full of online multitabling...Feel Free to comment on any area...What helps you focus for 6 hour stretches.I ask bc I often track online pros playing 7-10 hour tourny sessions, with no real time when a tourny isnt running. Since they all start at different times, they all have different break times. Do you just eventually pick a time to sit out of all your tables to go to the bathroom, etcHow many tables do you play on at onceHow many screens do you play on? How many sights at once?Do you drink coffee, redbull, water, smoke cigaretts, take aderall, misc drugs?Do you have a lot of resources close by...like food or drinks? Link to post Share on other sites

Music is the best way for me to keep my mind occupied. I have a pretty good music collection, so it works for me. I generally only drink water because if I drink caffine my mind will start racing and I'll want to do something else (like surf the internet) while I play. Link to post Share on other sites
TheCinciKid 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 dude gets paws off my name...i will play u heads up for itLOL. Yeah, HU matches are definitely the best way to solve disputes in poker. I was mainly just givin' ya a hard time. Granted, I've been on this forum for a couple of years, and your name is a little bit too close to mine for my liking, but I don't come around that much anymore, so it's not like it's a big deal to me.

loudestmute 0 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I'm still what many consider "n00b", so I've never had a game last more than three hours before dropping out.As for what gets me through, it's a mix of Minesweeper and IMs with friends. Link to post Share on other sites

TheCincinnatiKid 0 Posted March 4, 2008 Author Share Posted March 4, 2008 when i redbull like crazy i usually crash at about hour 4-5 of the tourny Link to post Share on other sites
kkot 0 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 when i redbull like crazy i usually crash at about hour 4-5 of the tournyBut it gives a a few solid hours for cash games or SNGs. I always like to keep some sort of food around and I try not to drink too much of anything to avoid running to the washroom every hour. Link to post Share on other sites
Jariso13 1 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I would say the pros are probably pretty focused on their games rather then snacks, minesweeper, ect. You have to remember this is their job and if they lose they will actually have to get a job to pay their bills so winning is probably pretty important to them. The need to make money is what keeps them focused the most, IMO, not cheese doodles.Also, there are plenty of live pros out there who sit in casinos for hour after hour and have nothing to entertain themselves with besides some table talk, and ipod and a drink lady and they all seem to have survived.

Repeat steps 4-9 as requiredI can't be the only one who has ever done this!?! Link to post Share on other sites
DelftDragons 0 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 You are definatly not I use youtube a lot with stand-up comedy and music while playing 2 to 3 tables. The background noise keeps me from getting bored and funny comedy makes me happy and generally I play better when im happy.Gotta have smokes nearby though (and enough!!). Nothing is worse then running out of smokes with still an hour or 2/3 to go in a tournie.I'd probably go all-in everyhand to either win realllly quick or bust out. Link to post Share on other sites
