also, it doesnt matter whether u recover ur losses in this session, the next session or a session that u play next week....its all heading towards the "long-run".......if ur not willing to think in terms of the long-run, then dont play at all.
nice post tho.

I agree almost completely...The exception would be that this was to new LLHE players and therefore, they probably don't think long term (I know I didn't when I started

). The psychological disadvantage to playing in 20 spurts where you may just lose you blinds and fold everything can be hard for some to take...
This was based on things I wished people had told me (some may have tried

) when I started. I would sit down to play, even if I knew I only had 10min before leaving for work...the result was fairly pronounced on my play...It seemed like I was constantly having losing sessions...and that just sucks. I was trying to help people avoid that mistake when they are learning.
Obviously, we know that statistically, the amount of time you sit at a table is cumlatitive so it doesn't matter whether you do it in 20min sittings or 3 hours sittings (as you stated above), but I found it easier to have winning sessions if i stayed longer and that made me feel better
