Right on pointing out the worry of playing all my volume at my C game. But like..I remember being wide awake when I did this sort of thing in high school. I don't know if it came from Ben Franklin, but I know I have seen a lot of stuff about just training your body to skip right to rem sleep. One of the possibilities (not for me) was to get to a point where you'd sleep 20-30 minutes every 3 hours and then at one point in the day get 2 hours in. Every time you were sleeping your body would go through a cycle as opposed to the normal 90 minutes it takes. These things are very…idk i don't want to say dangerous. i think difficulty to maintain them is high. you mention irritability and being on the verge of death, and the idea is to maintain the sleep schedule to the T because like ew'll go for the extreme with 20 minute naps and then the 2 hour nap. That cycle is set in such a manner that when youre at the point youre trained, your body immediately falls into rem sleep whereas normally it takes a while to shutdown. it gets everything it needs in the i wanna say 6 -20 minutes of boosted perfect sleep and in the 2 hours. if you mess up at all though, the consequences are far more drastic and visible than just running deep in a tournament through like 4am when you regularly get a normal amount of sleep. like…hm. benefits supposedly remain the same, but consequences from mistakes increase drastically. thats what the trade off is supposed to be i guess. you have less maneuverability, but you have more time. i knew a few people with monster IQ's that seemed to perfect this in high school. i don't want to do that extreme version, but you get the idea. i don't want to go to bed before 10pm because of the games available between me getting home and the games i'd get to play.

that would mean then cutting significantly the potential volume. there has to be some kind of middle ground in there. i can't let myself turn into a rec player only getting 10 games a week in. i'll fall behind skill-wise, but more importantly, your winrate at 10 games a week is horrrrrrribly low and incredibly high variance when you factor in time as a variable. 3 months pass by and i have less than 100 games, i have no idea what my actual skill is relative to the fields because that's just not enough hands.

maybe ill try to play earlier some days and then have days set aside for the bigger games at night? the thing about that is i feel i odn't play near my A-game when i get home from work so i need to rest for a little bit, usually like an hour. that leaves my window even smaller. i plan to add 6max don's back into my schedule, so that actually could help when i feel i don't have the time for a full session. completely blanked on that. haha.

that's awesome you're a lawyer. i planned to go to law school for a while, but then sort of fell out of it. i took the lsat my junior year and my highest score was like a 164 and fsu and uf's inner quartile ranges were both lower than that at the time (both schools are pretty good), but the day of my actual test, some guy had an asthma attack and i ****ed up both sections of logic games i got. (the easiest 20-23 questions you can possibly get omggg still hurts lol). i actually played a live $100 tournament the day before and final tabled it for like $550. immediately after finishing the lsat, i went home, gave myself a mohawk, drove to see my girlfriend for the night, then went on tour. lol. sorry for the ramble story. it just popped in my head hah

I'm more into posting from work, but I wanted to throw this out there because that was really nice. haha. i know you're giving me a warning, but i'm really appreciative of you saying you understand where i'm coming from and you won't try to change it. i do know this isn't gonna last forever. i definitely don't want to play like this forever lol. i enjoy sleep. i do like playing this schedule now, but i also don't have commitments right now. i want to take advantage of that. life is sort of a grind for me right now, but it's more out of motivation. i will not do this for long. i also don't think i will do this past the series on bovada to be honest. i'll play fewer days per week. i work on my game at work honestly, because i have soooooo much down time. my job is currently me being trained, and there's plenty of space where i have easily 15 minutes, then an hour, then another 20, etc while people are busy or in meetings or whatever. frankly for the next few months, ill probably spend the majority of my training/study at work. it's amazing value on my time. my work doesn't suffer at all. i get everything done on time. i did get sick after taking the bus home from a live tournament and missed afew days, but that's a silly outlier i think. lol. i had sick days and i'm fine. i get two days off a month in vacation and sick.
