Are You Playing Too Many Hands in Online Poker Without Realizing It?

[Nomad]

Fast tables and multi-tabling can push players into loose habits. How do you control hand selection, especially when playing online? Do you use preflop charts or self-imposed rules to stay disciplined during long sessions in online poker games?

In online poker makes you could be playing rubbish hands without noticing. Everything is so fast. I caught myself clicking out of boredom one night. Now I reduce tables and take breaks as much as I need it. Playing less actually helped me think more.

I do not have an answer, but i have a question. Do you play in the pCF games? I am just curious your table name. I like your posts also by the way. Great job.

I'm not a fan of charts, or playing by the "book". I usually play tight, so no I don't think I play too many hands. However, I think it's important to adapt to action around you, which may result in widening your range. It also depends on the blinds, levels, and stack sizes when I factor in what hands are playable.

You should never try to force the action. Every move should be somewhat calculated. Good luck!
