:cool: Something say to u.. i cant play AA's KK's QQ's because i loss that. The really could be the variance, this is the same with the family, we need to enjoy with them to be fine with other activities, how many people here spend playing poker more than 10 hours per day? amd not get prizes, u have to get a balance into poker and family time. Be a shark playing the life.

This is a serious question. But to reach a high level of 2-3 hours is not enough. MTT tournaments go for several hours to earn on the CNG tournaments you need to play a few dozen tournaments every day. It is important that the family understands this.

I grind cash games or sit-n-go I avoid MTT specifically because of the need to be there that long interrupted.

I have, in my personal life, recently spent time with a dying grandfather and help my parents regularly with house chores and have a part time job as a dishwasher in a restaurant (well I help set things up as well at the end of the shift so I become front of house) and I also manage to play the odd online game (not poker) here or there for fun and watch a few Netflix episodes per 3 days of a series I enjoy. You can balance life and be a shark, just don't focus on MTTs :)

it's complicated, talk about it, MTT tournament gets to last 10 hours. And you need to take time for the family to study your game, become a shark, and if it were easy it would be crowded around at the poker tables.

everything is very difficult. it's hard to be a good player. it's hard to be a good parent and husband. it's hard to be a good person. and it's even harder to have it all together

The trick is to stay focused and the time we can play with being focused.

It dosent matter if a person plays for 10 hours, and in the process playing 5 games of 2 hours each if they are tournaments.

In the end, after getting koed 2 hrs after the game begins in each game, the cashouts wont be big enough and he will just be making his buyin money.

And again register for another game, play another 2 hours and get 1 dollar raise etc.

I know this as I've done it. Trick is to stay focused for extended period of time and not get caught up.

Everything in life has to have a balance, so do not destroy your family because of gambling.
