How long is too long?

[johnbaker]

yeah I max out at 3 online... then i get bored and start watching a movie while I play.... bad for my bankroll lol

I think 6- 8 hrs is the max a person should play anything more and you'll be bound to make mistakes.

I log off after 100 hands because that as many hands as Poker Stars can send you via email. So I take a break

Four hours is about the lmit for me, but it's longer when playing live. By the way, does losing or winning make you want to play longer?

[jillaj]

It really depends on if I'm winning or not. I can go loger if I am winning, byt usually about 2 hours is my limit before i have to get up and walk around.

2-3 hours is usually the most I can go. My style is a lot like Lou's in that I usually only play one table at a time and can multitask. When I play poker for 3 hours I usually haven't just been sitting staring at the screen the whole time. I can usually stay focused longer in multi table tourneys obviously because its often necessary to concentrate longer but I also being the session expecting to play for a long period of time and am more prepared for it.

Also if I am not in the mood to play i dont bother at all. I need to be fully into the games or I tend to lose very quickly. I would say 3-4hrs is enough for me. When i won a few large freerolls i was tried at the end of a 7hr session.
