What is your typical day of grinding? Do you go to the casino? Do you grind at home?
Tell me more about how your day is!

A poker book?
Personally, I’m pretty skeptical about most books on this topic.
But if it’s a biography of a famous poker player, then yes — that can be interesting to read.

Morning / Early Afternoon

I usually wake up without an alarm, since my sleep schedule is shaped around my late-night grind.
I make a light breakfast and start with a mental warm-up: reviewing hands, checking solver spots, and running a few range drills.
After that, I get some physical activity in — either the gym, some stretching, or a walk — just to clear my head and stay sharp.
I also prepare my meals and snacks for the session ahead.

Afternoon — Starting the Grind

I set up my workspace: multi-monitor setup, HUD, notes, bankroll tracking — everything in place.
Then I choose which tables or tournaments to play based on the softest traffic available.
I play in focused blocks of about 1.5 to 2 hours, taking short breaks between them to avoid fatigue and keep my decision-making sharp.

Evening — Prime Time

Evening is when the online games are at their softest worldwide, so this is usually the most important part of my day.
I run long sessions here, especially if I’m playing tournaments — MTTs can easily keep me going until 3–5 a.m.
If I’m playing cash instead, the pace is steadier but still very profitable at night.

Late Night

When the session ends, I do a quick review of the key hands.
I also take notes on my mental game — things like confidence levels, tilt moments, emotional leaks, anything that stood out.
Finally, I wind down with something relaxing: a series, some reading, or a bit of gaming before bed.

It's like some kind of ideal schedule... )
