ill just map out my blog and ask for advice, but you can answer in paragraphs

-worried about health, poker makes me smoke too much coz of grinding tons daily
-stress doesnt help, imagine u guys who play 1k hands a day experiencing all the variance for a month in 3 days on a daily basis lol
-playing hours on end has sucked out the life out of me, e.g. less going out, socializing (which i love), gym etc
-i think im less sexually prolific now lol, srsly
-thinking of playing 6max, getting a coach, but internet sux a bit for voice chat, (is mikogo better than teamviewer, skype is choppy and vent kinda weird to use too, any other suggestions?)
-overall i think i should upgrade the quality of play, not the quantity, devote more attention but less time for poker
-im srsly thinking of playing 4 to 6 tabling 6max on stars, how many hands does it take at 100nl and 200nl to get like 3kvpps daily?

smoking cigarettes? if so quit asap. if not, then prob not smoking too much.

you need to block 2 hours a day for excercise and stick to it.

thats all the advice i got

Don't waste your youth playing poker 12 hours a day. Don't be a fool.

Now I really am a busto. Thanks FTP.

although i play a loooot of poker i need to relief stress with exercise pro...there was a time that iw as playing 10-12 hour sessions of poker a day and i really started getting anxiety...

i realized that poker was taking over everything...think about it..the body has to react to every emotion u have...so when it hasd the huuuge UPS nad DOWNS of poker...sometimes the body is putting itself into fight or flight mode...which can really get to your head...

poker has huuuuuuge ups and downs...that at the time might not seem to affect u...but after a while it really will

running lets off adorfiens...which means at some sense can release stress...try to run and lift lightly on a daily basis...i would think that would help out your mental stage

most poker pros play like 3 hours a day

12 is insane and prob. not profitable

Depends how "intense" your poker sessions are.

If you are playing few tables at stakes you beat easily, then you can do 12 hour sessions. If you are playing too many tables at stakes that are tough for you, 3 hours seems a lot.
