Do you find a long game of poker tiring?

[Suns of Beaches]

i find a long game very tiring. especially live more than online. Online when theres a good mtt price the adrenaline keeps me awake. live is just too slow for me.

 

[edenman1]

I can play for hours and hours.. But I do prefer turbo, or even super turbo tournaments.

 

[cranberry]

Playing poker for 6-7 hours is tiring for me. So I like playing Sit&Go or turbo-tournaments.

 

[emilvidi]

I like playing for hours, i just dont have the time anymore for long tournaments so i prefer sit&go or freerolls so I don't feel sorry if I have to leave in the middle of the tournament

If you're playing in a large field MTT, you must be prepared to play for a long time 10+ hour session!

Cant speak for cash games but for tournaments I think it gets more exciting the deeper you get. Each decision becomes more crucial so its best to stay alert and find the right spots.

 

[david1bear]

it is very tiring playing for that amount of time and that is why I play the hyper and turbos most of the time. But if the money was right I would feel like it would be a nice hard days at work :O)

 

[albosaltenio]

it is true it is very tiring but if you play a lot of hours an insurance tournament we end up happy with the reward

 

[danntesvarna]

I like turbo tournements and 6 max tables when I play cash games.
I think time it is very interesting word and many big persons give his essence of it.
Here in Bulgaria for a word weather we say : time.

Since I'm not used to having lots of deep runs, I definitely find it difficult after 7 hours of play. Of course, the end game possibility gives a high energy boost, but it can still be quite draining.

Well, let's just say I've stayed up all night more than a few times, and woke up only to have blinded out of some silly satellite or something

I have played poker games that makes me very tired, I played an online poker game for 7 hours, it left me exhausted, I prefer to play quick games that last for a maximum of 3 hours.

I also get tired after a long game of poker, or rather I don’t get tired, but my head starts to hurt a lot.
The best option is to play 1-2 game tables for 2-4 hours. This option brings both income and pleasure from the game!

 

[namvidnee]

I get tired very quickly too. so for me the optimal game time is 1.5-2 hours

 

[June4Spades]

Yes, I find it exhausting. When I am dealt AA for the third time, I'd rather gp to sleep ...

 

[fenoz]

I start to get tired after two or three hours of the game, you need to get distracted, have a bite, drink coffee. Otherwise, you can not withstand the pressure)

 

[BobbyMorton]

Because of my age long games do tire me.

 

[Dimanis]

I'm really tired after three hours of play in the tournament for the fourth hour is seeded attention.

 

[lierm]

I can only play for ~3 hours, after that time I feel like I've already got what I paid, even if I am not in a money yet. I then start playing losely and eventually give up.

 

[COMIRRR]

I played in tournaments that lasted many hours and in the end, the win was not as expected so I gave up such tiring tournaments ... I try to play until 4 hours.

 

[fernandovr]

When I enter a tournament, I know it can be long. I played a 9 hour one and I didn't feel tired, but I think the 5 minute break could increase as the tournament lasts, early hours 5 minutes after 3 hours increase to 10 minutes and so on.

 

[SubZero111]

I quite often get tired in a long game of poker. That is why I always keep an ample supply of meth on hand. It just keeps me going! hahaha

 

[77ecos]

Tournaments enjoyed no matter how long they are, going forward and seeing in the lobby various awards and positions drives me to get away, to really cash at most 2 hours because I get bored easily and receive bad cards or good without action kills me , but let open leg action many times do not play and I get bored

 

[blata8ruga]

I find playing for 5 hours or more gets tiring. If you are tuned in and really focused on your game I feel like it should get tiresome. There is so much involved in studying how other players play there game, then when you play in hands it takes that much more attention to detail.

 

[Bluffzone68]

Hi
Getting tired or not depends on my stack position.
If I am doing good to alright I don’t feel tired at all.
But if I am losing a lot of chips that kind of works against my mental strength.

Completely agree with you, tournaments for 7-8 hours is not for me
