  1. Every Sunday, before I register for all my tournaments, I have a list of MTT pros that I look up on both PS and FTP to see what their tournament schedules are like. One thing I find in common is that most of them play at least 20 tourneys throughout the day. some of these mtt grinders play a whole lot more than that too, starting as early as 2pm and starting new tourneys throughout the whole day, up to 1am. I cant help but wonder when I watch these guys, how do they play so consistently, and how do they get around doing other everyday tasks while 6-15 tabling mtt's all day? When it comes to going to the bathroom I understand, the laptop on the lap while droppin a deuce has become pretty standard for any mtt grinder I would assume, lol. But what about if u have to make something to eat? How many tables can an mtt pro manage profitably while preparing a meal? I cant seem to get it down, and it becomes a hassle during the sunday afternoon when i can have anywhere between 6 and 12 tables open. And most importantly, how can one maintain both their physical and their psychological stamina so well so as to play 6-15 tables for 12 hours of nonstop play? earlier today I couldnt do it, starting at 3 and having bust out of everything by 8:30, i decided not to start anything else like I usually would have. I gave up rather than continue to lose, and although i know it was the best choice because I was so mentally burned out and unfocused that I knew i was simly incapable of +ev play, it was frustrating to unreg from all those tournaments. Anybody else have this problem, of being unable to finish a session? Any mtt grinders' advice would be welcome. glgl
