Obviously you should play as much as you can if you have an edge. If you have an edge at the less juicy times, add them in; if you lose during the non-juicy times, cut them out.
If you can only play your best for 3 or 4 hours, then you should try to play the juiciest times. But if you can beat the less juicy times and you can grind at your best for a long enough period to include the less juicy games, do it.
I always think of this in terms of the hourly rate that I charged as a lawyer. I had some high volume clients--insurance companies--that sent me scores of cases a year, and, therefore, were charged a lower hourly rate than my usual and customary rate the one off clients paid. But I still spent time on the lower paying cases.
Had I chosen to, I could have turned down all the low paying cases, made good money and worked fewer hours--my hourly would have gone up, but my total income would have gone down if i had only worked the juicy cases.
