Whatever. The point is I had a 50k hand streak where I was not even break-even. A 50k hand streak where I went +5bb/100. So many things you cant control. Even setting an amount of time to play is not necessarily good or bad. But its way better than setting a short term profit goal. Long term profit goals are okay. As long as you can come to terms with how long the long term really is.... wow. Anyhow my advice is force yourself to take breaks a little more often than you think you need them, stay fresh. Start with shorter sessions then build up. Quick breaks help. Breaks after losing. Cheers
    so you suggest i should set a certain amount of hours/hands i play or see each month and then distribute that whichever way i want? and thanks

    yeah i would go with the amount of time you want to play, never limit your winnings but ALWAYS limit your losses

    Never play beyond what your capable of affording. If you don't want to lose all your money fast then play in micro SNG's. If your just getting started take your time and enjoy the winnings.

If you play cash you should find the ideal length of time where you are the most fresh, etc.
    This is a very good tip. Also, don't get into a big game or tournament that you know could last a while especially if you have to go somewhere. If you lose, it can effect your mood a bit.

    some say you should keep playing PO freerolls til you have it up to 50 or so that way variance doesnt drain your roll
