18 hours a day or week? I like how people are giving you grief for this without even checking.
18 hours a day is a lot. For sure I've had sessions like that, but it's rare. I can play for many hours, but breaks are important, especially if we're "running bad" (that's just another way of saying playing like an idiot and looking to blame something else). If you were to take a half hour break every four or five hours, it could be hugely beneficial. Just make a cup of tea, walk the dog, watch some Futurama, anything to break up the session for just a short time.
Watching the pros is all very well and good, so long as you know when the pros are playing like idiots too. I like watching people like Ferguson, Neagranu, Ivey, even Hellmuth, these players play a very good tight/aggressive game. Some others play like $10nl donks and it frustrates the hell out of me that these muppets are playing poker for a living while I struggle to build a bankroll. Just don't think that because a pro did something, that it makes it a good move. I often think the pros deliberately make bad plays because they know how influencial they are. Either that or they have more money than sense.
Oh yeah, and definitely be prepared to take some stick off people when you post in forums. This is the internets, everyone has huge testicles. Bikes is correct, people shouldn't be so easily trolled.
