I just start this post simply because, previously, after one or two MTT, it is OK. but these days, as I think more on table, after several hours of games, feel like a dehydrated fish from the bank. just want to sleep, after game. does anyone feels the same, or maybe I begin to getting aged....sigh....LOL

I feel i can too. only my feelings and my tilt issues or completely Unrelated.
Sometimes i start a new one directly after. Usually because i just went 3 hours in a tournement and only doubled or tripled my buy in. The next tourney goes horrible.

A tournament is a Survival of the Fittest thing for a lot of people. If they don't survive they throw a fit.

If I'm in a MTT that runs forever and don't place or don't place in a high payout spot it can get frusterating but try not to think of it as a waste of time try to think fo every hand as an opportunity to learn. Could I avoided getting KO right there did I make the right play? everything you do even lose can be used to learn but yes it feels much better to learn something off of a win then it does a loss

I feel the same after playing a few hours in MTT's, I feel drained and my brain hurts. That is why If i want to play 5 MTT's I will make sure they start at roughly the same time cos after playing 4-5 hours in an MTT the last thing I want to do is start another one. Specially when I end up on the final table, that is really draining and after that I dont want to play any poker for a good few hours.

Yea, basically just sitting through one MTT and getting to a final table or even burning through 2 or 3 breaks will start to get very tiring.

When your doing a major tourney like poker maximus or the sunday big ticket, you'll have to grind at least 5 hours till you make the cash. After that, is another 3-7 hours of torture till your knocked out of the tournament.

I can play for hours without getting tired, especially when is a long session of cash game that you are always on action.
