I just want to share my experience so far. I started playing online again this year.

I love MTTs, but I was never good enough to last long. After I got some re-education about the current poker meta, I started getting to the late phases very easily (micros).

So, going on with the satisfaction (illusory lol) of beating the field I was playing I decided to venture into the Moneymaker qualifiers (I had 3 torneys a day to play for only 1 cent! loved it!) I already knew I would not qualify. But the intention was to put in a lil volume.

Having a career, I started to change my work routine so I could be available at home still during the early afternoon. That made me start working much earlier than normal.

So, onto the grind I got myself playing almost everyday (Work is priority of course) from 3pm till around 11pm.

Honestly, after a week  or weekend that I spent more than 7h playing (I play 3 tables max only) a day, I would get absolutely wrecked (mental exhaustion) the next few days. I had the same experience when I moved abroad and had to use another language I was not fluent to communicate all day long. I would come back home and just turn off like a electronic.

Having that said, I believe that the amount of hours is build up like muscles. The more you practice, more your mind gets situations as automatic responses (like different languages). So, I still feel happy that the progress is coming and I am being more comfortable playing longer hours.

*I play poker as a hobby only and love to study it. Hopefully it helps anyone in the same situation.
