Actually 6-8 hrs per day is pretty easy. I pretty much get 4-5 hours in aon a workday and can easily squeeze out 8 hrs days on my days off from work. Think I played for liek 7hrs yesterday and still wanted to carry on but for runbad.
And thats the problem, putting in big hours while running like shit which leads to playing like shit.
I can put the grind in, but I'm pretty sure I cant win or achieve break even whilst doing it, which sucks coz I have great work ethic. I'm pretty sure I could get SNE (which is like 3 million hands/year) whilst working full time as long as I could b/e.

General Question:
When I read excerpts of Tommy Angelo's writing it usually says the advice is for Limit Hold 'Em. How much of this advice is not applicable to NLHE?

One example:
Suitedness (limit hold'em)
When should suitedness tip the scales between playing a hand and folding it at limit hold'em? In other words, when does the difference between K9s and K9o, or 87s and 87o, or A2s and A2o, make a difference? When I play, I draw the line at the last three seats: the button, cutoff, and hijack. From those positions, the difference between suited and unsuited can be big enough to turn a fold into a raise or call. From the other positions, it never is. I am suit blind before the flop from early position and from the blinds. I see only the number of spots on the cards, not their shape.
My experience has been that this advice often applies to NLHE as well. I.e. Playing KJs from MP but folding KJo until the CO hasn't been great for me. KJs from MP has been a money loser but I have opened with it over and over because the EV charts says that KJs has roughly the same value as 88.
Curious what y'all think about this and whether you take suitedness into account as to whether to open a hand or not?

Suitedness is definitely a factor in more spots than described at the fringes of your range, but yeah, "I haz sooted" is way too liberally used as an excuse to play.
Why look to literature that isn't directed at your game though? There are a plethora of NLHE books out there that will apply without needing to add translation to your labors.
Though, actually if the games are still as limpy passive preflop and super cally passive postflop as they were when I was working through 2 and 5nl, I played preflop just like I did at live fishy pokerboom LHE. Like 25/3, and 25BB/100 and 15BB/100 respectively isn't a bad result IMO.
1) Sit deep with other deep fools
2) Aggressively barrel in, even overbet shoving river with nuts
3) Learn how to play poker more for realer when you hit 25nl
