How many people do multi table SnG's(MTT) or MTT's and when running cold and just in general things aren't going well, how do you keep motivated to keep your session going?
I struggle for the best part to put in a session of more than 30 SnG's and that's is dependent on how good or bad I run.
For example, yesterday I started up my usual 4 tables then added two more and usually play with around 8-10 table at any given time and add one if I bust but even this is quite un-motivating at times. So I started my usual game, TAG and within 2hands on 2 tables I busted out after getting it all in post flop when I was a favorite so within 5minutes of starting I was already busted in 2 tournaments so this instantly put me in a bad way and thinking it was just going to be one of those nights....again.
Sure enough, keeping 8-10 tables going playing for hours on end to bubbling or being sucked out on seemingly tournament after tournament I lose to motivation to carry on and results just wasn't going my way. After about my 14th tournaments and with several bust outs I just wanted to session over with after 1hour. I some how managed to dwindle down to 4 tables and did start tilting slightly, raising when I shouldn't be, calling of bad cards etc. Anyway, in the end I managed to finish 4th in a 45man and a couple of 2nd's in STT's, overall making my losses to arouind $2.00 after $20.00 investments.
What I want to know is how do people who multitable so many and play for hours on ends with sessions of 100+ tournaments cope with this ? How do you find the motivation to actually keep registering for a tournament when you feel a bit low? How do you remain positive when actually you feel 10 tournaments in a row you don't cash and lose when a favorite, I find it such a struggle and would like some advice..I never really felt like this in cash games and could happily grind for hours on end even if in a big downswing, it just didn't have the same effect however when it comes to SnG's/MTT's after 2/3 hours and 20 tournaments later I just want to stop playing yet don't find it a problem with cash games even if losing the same amount of money?
Any advice?
