I really liked that list someone posted earlier for things they do to help them play more and comfortable each day.
Anyone have any other ideas or suggestions us playing 6-15 hours a day can to do prepare/stay comfortable throughout the session.
My basic plan I have come up with so far as I just moved to a whole new area (i used to live out this way 2 years ago) like 8 pm last night and finally got everything set up is to have 2 setups to play on in my apartment, one in my room where i can be laying on the bed and play on my 70 inch like i did when i played 600k hands in november, my other is a regular computer chair/dual monitor setup in living room so i can get a change of scenery and see some more light.
Planning on trying to stick to a routine of wake up and eat breakfast around 7-8 AM, play 4-6 hours, eat lunch and go to gym for some social interaction. Come back and play 4-6 hours and then hang out with friends/dates and then sleep by midnight-1. I'm just hoping I can stick to this for the next few months when weather gets nicer/start meeting more friends/girls and stick to my goal of 125k+ from SNE. Defintly any help or ideas that will make this easier to do/from people that have done it would be awesome to hear!!
Pssh to someone posting earlier that 125k isnt worth it to get SNE, u r ****ing crazy lol good luck to everyone chasing it!!

Joey, with the kind of volume your putting in make sure you do all you can to prevent repetative motion/carpel tunnel type problems before they start. Once the pain starts it's alot harder to get rid of than it is to prevent it in the first place.
-have a really comfortable chair/desk the right height. I personaly use a lazyboy and a pillow in my lap for the mouse/trackball to sit in, but most people use a really good office type desk and like it.
-Use every script you can to help reduce clicking.
-Use some method of putting some of the load on your off hand. I've used a gamepad before, but like this alot better.

I actually have the older model

but they should be basicly the same.
-find something to change up with from the standerd mouse, changing off every month or so, or at the first signs of pain. I use this

and like it alot (some people like the thumb ones better though)
-wear a wrist brace when you play. you can be dumb and wait till carpel tunnel starts to wear it (like I was, and most people I know) or you can be really smart and start wearing it now. I use this

-have a fridge easy to reach and drink lots of fliuds an maybe some gatoraid type stuff. It may be just me, but I have problems with getting dehidrated during long sessions. It doesn't matter much during, but after the session when I get up and move around if I havent drank enough I feel like crap.

you'll find better games if you get up around noon eat lunch and go to gym for some social interaction. Come back and play 4-6 hours and then hang out with friends/dates and then play midnight-5ish. there's a reason most of use don't get up before noon.
that said, if your a morning person, just play when you feel like it.
