No, you do have to keep track of your sessions. And as far as I've been able to figure, a session would be the amount of time you played at a given limit and a given type of game at one sitting. For example, if you played $10NL for two hours, that would be a session. If you came back 3 hours later, that would be another session. If you played Razz and Hold 'em at the same time, that would be two different sessions. If you played $10NL and $25NL at the same time, I think that would be two separate sessions.

Tournaments are easy, because each one is a session.

All of this applies whether you are playing one game at a time, or multi-tabling. The IRS requires you to keep a log of all your sessions, as you know. Obviously, each hand isn't a session, but a session can't be a year long, either.

Basically, if you stick with what I mentioned above, you'll probably be safe. I'm not a tax attorney, so don't hold me to all this, but I've done quite a bit of research into it and I think this is right. I also used to work for the IRS, getting cases ready for court. Judges are fairly reasonable, so if you have a method behind your madness and can explain it well, even if the IRS doesn't agree with you, you have a chance to convince the judge if it comes down to that.
