Message: [QUOTE="ObbleeXY, post: 6269859, member: 437841"] I play pretty much every day. I'll typically play the CC platinum games. In addition, I will play Spins, Neymar KO, Single table SNGs, some MTT SNGs...Sunday Storm Sattie's, KO and Bounty Builders....plus any freerolls. The Sunday Storm is the biggest game I'll pay full entry for, not including my weekly poker-club home game (which is 5.50GBP online or 10GBP live). Otherwise, it's all micros. Mostly tourneys...rarely cash. Pros -- I don't think there are big pros other than I like to play poker...so doing what you like is good for the soul. Cons -- It can interfere with other things. For example, sometimes you can run very deep and a quick game turns into several hours of play... For this reason, I tend to miss a lot of the CC freerolls (or just shove in the first three hands and get out if I'm disadvantaged). Playing too often at low stakes, especially after winning a decent amount, can lead to some poor play. I find I will make more mistakes if I play too much or play without threatening the bankroll at least a little bit. For instance. I had a bad week where I had made more than one deposit. This caused me to double-down and smarten-up. I followed it up with some wins that brought my bankroll back uo to circa $200. In the week that followed though, as I failed to withdraw some of those winnings, I played some pretty bad poker. Made far too many hero calls. And tried too many bluffs in poor spots which punished me further. The other problem with playing everyday is that leaves not very much time for study/review. The single most important thing you can do is review your play history and identify the places where you are leaking chips. You also need to understand whether the places you are winning chips were down to good play / good probability or whether you came up lucky (e.g. rivering a two-outer). You also need time to review the play of your opponents -- at least the ones which you will see regularly. With a tool like PT4 or HM3, you can get a good view of whether they have any exploitable vulnerabilities. Playing everyday leaves little time for this. Most pro players these days will suggest that you need some balance in your life with poker, where exercise, nutrition and positive mental health are important to maintaining positive poker health. Not surprising though -- like most things in life...it is about finding the right balance which suits you and those you live with. Cheers, JT [/QUOTE]
