Episode Description from the Publisher

Maximizing your #poker hourly rate extends well beyond simply playing well. If playing online, for example, how many simultaneous tables gives you your best results? What is your optimal session length? How do you even survive the poker grind?   While the answers to many of these questions depend on the individual player, there are many commonalities that can greatly boost the hourly rate of most players. Creating a grinding schedule, taking shots, balancing study and playing time, and bankroll management are among the topics discussed in this episode.   TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Introduction: The Poker Grind 0:30 Hourly Volume & Multi-Tabling Strategy 1:10 The Yerkes-Dodson Law for Optimal Performance 2:26 Setting Volume-Based Session Goals 4:42 Managing Variance Through Volume 7:42 Creating a Grinding Schedule 10:30 Bankroll Management & Shot Taking Strategy 12:07 The 12+1 Shot Taking Method 14:32 When to Check the Cashier 16:30 Study vs Grinding Time Ratio 17:04 Opportunity Cost of Study Time 18:04 Real World Experience vs Lab Time 19:34 Ergonomics & Hardware Setup 21:46 Software Setup & Table Management Tools 22:46 Focus & Eliminating Distractions 23:29 Should You Listen to Music While Grinding?   RELATED LINKS Studying Poker: Your Weekly Study Guide: https://www.splitsuit.com/ultimate-weekly-poker-study-guide The Exploitative Edge (Book): https://redchippoker.com/the-exploitative-edge The Science Of BRM And Taking Shots: https://youtu.be/1nDFMAouLFM?si=QzxGdjZAI8CCJxug Multi-Tabling: https://youtu.be/2i9YfyyN0Xs?si=vjecjfDHuE09vOwK **JOIN US ON DISCORD** Join our free poker Discord today: https://redchippoker.com/discord
