It's counter-intuitive that if you play longer sessions to get "unstuck" it will lower your overall winrate. All things being equal, What this will do is you INCREASE the amount of time you spend at harder/less profitable tables while MINIMIZING the amount of time you spend at winning tables.
It leads to a philosophy that is driven by cashing out a winner instead of playing your game for the longtime.
For example, Hero sits down at a donkfest action table where everyone is 150bb+ Hero flops a set within 20 minutes and three donks stack off with TPGK or gutshots!!! Hero gets up 300bb and then starts getting scared that he will lose his profits so he does a hit-n-run and leaves after one more orbit. Total time at the table 30 mins.
Next day he buy-ins 100bb and a sneaky player hits 2p on river and takes hero for 40bb. Few hands later hero is bluffed out of big pot. Hero reloads to 100bb and just can't catch a break and losses it. So he reloads and nits up residing himself to get back those two buy-ins. He grinds for 7hrs and ultimately leaves down 2 buy-ins.
So, if you look at this objectively, in situation #1, hero is at the world's juiciest table but only stays 30mins but in situation #2 hero is at a tough table and stays 7hrs...
Like I said, its counter-intuitive but you DON'T want to focus on the money (ie I'm gonna play till I get unstuck) but rather you want to focus on your play vs the table dynamics and regard it as one long game.
