Maximizing Your Winrate Grinding Poker · S8E5

Maximizing your #poker hourly rate extends well beyond simply playing well. If playing online, for example, how many simultaneous tables gives you your best results? What is your optimal session length? How do you even survive the poker grind?

While the answers to many of these questions depend on the individual player, there are many commonalities that can greatly boost the hourly rate of most players. Creating a grinding schedule, taking shots, balancing study and playing time, and bankroll management are among the topics discussed in this episode.
