Some tournaments take 4-7 hours.
Are you prepared to handle the mental fatigue in the latter part of a game?
What can we do to make sure we are our sharpest, when it matters most?

My 2 big tourneys wins were 11 hours ($3 rebuy on Stars) and 9 hours i think for paradise.
I wasnt tired and they both finished at 10am my time nearly
lots of Adderall?
lol just kidding. Interested in reading some of the good answers though, although I have yet to be in a longer tournament.
Eejit uses an unlimited supply of addrenaline to handle his fatigue.Quote:

I find that no matter what day it is, I can only play 6 hours of really solid
poker after that my bed is calling and it show in my play.
My trick is to squeeze 3-4 tourneys in - in that time frame.
I think 9 hrs would kill me! 10 minutes after the third break I am going "Good God isn't it break time yet!" I would love to hear how some of you long haulers handle it. I played about 8 hours last night, but they were all small tourneys so I had time between. And I was still dead when I quit.Quote:
