what is a typical poker evening for you? Do you have set tournaments you always play and if so, what are those and why?
I am in the USA (not Nevada or
New Jersey) so my options are limited. The answer to this question is less about what I would do and more about what I can do (so might not be as interesting for your human behavior aspect). I am building a
bankroll through freerolls because I am not comfortable with the deposit methods (of the sites available to me). This strategy dictates my
typical poker evening,which is mostly on ACR with a little BOL sprinkled in.
ACR has a Texas Hold'Em Radio and an On Tilt Radio tournament each week night that I try to play in. Additionally Wed-Fri The Drunken Donk offers a freeroll. On Sat/Sun it is
ALL ABOUT CARDS CHAT freerolls. The ACR summer schedule has an $0.11 buy-in NL Freezeout tourney early evening Mon-Fri that I frequently play in an effort to boost my bankroll.
BOL I try to catch the Jackpot Freerolls and The Nuts freeroll tournaments. BOL also has a daily $0.05 tournament that typically has a larger field - also try to use this to boost the bankroll.
I agree with your point of not being tired when one plays. There have been at least 2 occasions where I was struggling to keep my eyes open when I ran deep in the nightly tourneys. My best solve for tiredness is to not start the tournament when I am tired because I always want to plan on running deep (though I know that is not likely EVERY time) and having energy and presence of mind to level up in the cash is important (who wants to work hard to make the $$ then not level up?!?
).
In a few months check back with me. My plan is to have a bankroll such that I can mostly leave the bingo-type freerolls behind!
