My schedule over the past few weeks has been pretty ridiculous, usually going to bed at 2-4am and getting up around midday most days. I'd like to use the rest of my holidays productively and I think it would be a fun experiment to spend the next week as an 'online pro'. Getting into a good schedule will help me increase fitness, health and poker volume before Vegas.Here's my rough daily schedule for through the week...
9am - Get up, breakfast
10am - Gym
11am to 2pm - Free to get lunch, hang out, etc
2pm to 6pm - 1st session, probably 1 or 2 hours of study (videos, PT, hand analysis from previous days weaktight hands) and a 2 to 3 hours of multi-tabling
6pm to 10pm - Free for dinner, chilling out, etc
10pm to 1am - Main multi-tabling session feasting on the evening fishies, spend 15-20 mins at end posting key hands on weaktight
1am to 2am - Chill out
2am - Sleepage
I think it's a pretty good schedule, will be interested to see if it works. I like the idea of the afternoon break to chill out and meet people for lunch, or just hang out and enjoy the sun in Edinburgh. Also plan on using it to get a lot of drums practice in as the studio hire is half price during the day. I like the idea of having a bunch of free time in the evening too after dinner as I like to play sports and hang out with friends during that sort of time. Obviously the times aren't gonna be super regimented or whatever, it's just pretty much a guideline. I'd be interested to hear what sort of schedule online cash game players stick to.
Had a sweet lazy Sunday today hanging out with my family and having a BBQ, just chilling out in preperation for getting back into things tomorrow. Here comes the grind!

gl with the weeks as a 'pro' mate. I done it myself before i actually went full time. You need more playin hrs in there imo although i can't really talk being a lazy bum. Cheers for the advice b4. My msn is amatay@live.co.uk. be gd to chat shit, laters
bet you cant stick to it even for a week... the problem is that you really need to play when you want to and not when you have too.
anyway muss races are on soon - so off I go..

Heh, I'm sure you could stick to it for a week, but long-term I agree, you need to be able to play when you want. Whether you can play the evening session will also depend on how much alcohol is involved with the prior chill session ;).
I would think the more interesting thing would be making sure you put in at least a set # of hours in the week then evaluating how keen you were to play the next day's session. From a test standpoint, it would be better if during the week, you didn't run too well (not that I wish it!)...if you can play a lot of hours and still want to play even if you don't run too well, then you have a pretty good answer!
Good luck with the grind it will be intresting to see how it works out for you.
Gl with the experiment.I've recebtly started working from home and trust me it is much harder to actually log any sort of hours when you can get out of the sack when you want, basically have nobody to answer to and are faced with a ton of disractions!
WTF? A "real" professional poker player would update his blog every day. Weak, dude. Weak.
Good luck Barry be interesting to see how you get on.
