playing too long affects your performance.

[Sivraj]

I hate long tournaments but I'll play them if they're for 5 or 6 figures. I prefer heads up, hyper turbos, or just cash games where I know I can make money and get out. I can get tired and impatient after a good 5 hours. But I'm going to train myself very well to prepare myself for the monthly milly pretty soon.

I play an average of 5 hours a day. A game that lasts more than 5 hours tires me and I lose concentration and patience.

I think any player gets tired of long sessions. Someone earlier, someone more hardy later. This is fine. Personally, I find it hard to show my a-game after 7-8 hours of continuous playing session.

I also prefer fast tournaments up to 3pm. because when the tournament is too long I get impatient and end up playing wrong and often eliminated without winning anything

 

[makisaa]

It is natural to feel tired, when you play a tournament for 6 hours and more(!) and win 6$!

It also happens to me. For this reason I prefer to play sits & go and spins. When I play for 2-3 hours I don't lose concentration

It affects me a lot, it is crucial when I play the final table or on the bubble. I made many mistakes when I was tired after a long time of playing.

 

[DanielSpaan]

Sometimes if i play more then 3 hours, i get tired. I prefer SnG ...

 

[Plut41]

Yep! Long games are kinda tiring, that's why I like turbo format in tournaments. Also you should not play in a bad mood. I wish CC frerolls would be in turbo format

 

[Mercury7]

Yes, it does. But I think it needs to be trained. For example, before I could not imagine how I could sit for 2 hours and play poker, but now I can easily play up to 2 hours per game (I play mt sng 45 max).
And I plan to play MTTs in the future, which, accordingly, last longer - for example, 4 hours as Hot, or from 8 hours as Bounty or Big (pokerstars).

 

[veltins]

Yes , it does for me . I become tired after long games. Its natural i guess

 

[frost234]

I would love to play MTT for 6-8 hours, but this happens very rarely

 

[MishkaZL]

Of course, if I play too long, more than 6 hours I get tired and also lose concentration. But even worse is that I lose patience and start making mistakes, which leads to a loss of money. That's why I almost never play more than 6 hours.

 

[NightStalker]

I can play for hours without getting tired.

 

[alabos]

of course but if i play just one long tournament its not too bad but if i play couple of tournament or long time cash game yes its affect

Hi Friend.

In my case, when I have played long games, they have been for good amounts of prizes and it excites me, also I want to be prepared for when I play a tournament of 2 days, those tournaments have juicy prizes.

The game plan helps me stay focused over long distances.
