    i play live $1/2 nlh full ring and the same thing on cake. mostly live so my question is how can i stay focused? i feel like i know the game's math, strat, and i trust my instincts. My biggest leak is staying focused so i can avoid playing dumb (suited connects to a raise, over playing tptk when i know i'm beat, chasing flushes/str8's etc..... i know to avoid bad play. i know if i could stay focused longer or have more discipline i'll have way more successes. so how can i gain more poker discipline?

    These kinda questions are pretty silly to me. No one can tell YOU how you could stay focused, that is for you to determine. Go into your sessions with a positive frame of mind and a good work ethic and you should be fine. Realize that you are going to put your hard earned money into play and take it serious just like you would online. GL

    Whenever I play it's usually for atleast 8-12 hrs. I can't sit too long. I lose concentration like u describe. I get up atleast once an hour for 5-15 minutes and take walk. I people watch as they gamble. Then I go back to play more poker. After about 8 hrs my breaks don't help as much lol.
    Going Sunday to poconos. Gl to me lol.
    Was there 2 weeks ago played 1:30pm-10pm and walked out +950. Was great.
    Don't play casino games that's my downfall during my breaks. I donate poker winnings to casino. Least I learned not to anymore my last trip.
