Session length

My sessions are anywhere from 30-120 minutes. Most hover around the 90-100 mins though.

...I've been sitting here getting cold cards forever and I'm getting tired and bored. I should take a break but I know as soon as I do I'll start getting some cards so I may as well stick it out for another half hour or so cause I don't want to miss my good cards when they come.

15 minutes later...

Finally, I got QQ and I'm in position. Crap, Ace on the flop and he raised my cbet. He's a passive calling station but I think I'm still ahead here because he's just bluffing me off the pot cause I've been playing so tight. I'll pot the turn. He'll know I'm serious and he can't bluff me off MY pot cause I deserve to win this one cause I've been sitting here forever waiting for some cards. He shoved? I'm commited now and I'm still ahead cause he's such a fish. No way the CS has an Ace. Wat? AK? No way. Jokerstars loves paying of these donks. This guy is so bad and he gets this crap when I've been waiting forever to get cards, rant, rant, rant. Man I should have taken a break earlier when I thought about it. I'm such a dumbass. I quit. I just can't win at this game no mattter what I do. rant, rant, rant.

HAHAHAHAHA, definitely happens. I'm definitely gonna do shorter sessions, and if i wanna keep playing, i'll do some pushups in between to give me a mental break.

Thanks guys for all the input.

30 minutes seems like barely enough time to get some tables open, get into the game mindset and start to figure things out.

If you are just grabbing some hands like before you leave for work, or school or before your favorite show comes on then maybe don't bother and review old HHs and sessions instead?

Wait until you can devote a couple of hours to a session without distraction, interruption or anything else that takes the mind off of the task.

Yeah I understand. 30 min sessions are usually not planned on being that long. Like I trainwreck and drop 4 buy ins in half an hour or realize I'm too tired to play or just not on top of my game, I'm shutting down.

Normal is 1.5h - 2h sessions atm.
