Something else I have tried

Over this past week I have tried something else new. When I am going to have a session where I am going to concentrate and set up the sharps for the best possible session, I will step up to the limits I like. For the times that I am playing for fun or distraction, or have a table open while I am doing something else I am stepping back down in limit.

So kids running around..... 25 cent table
everyone in bed asleep and I am awake and alert and ready to play ...... 50 cent or 1$ table

Same goes for short handed vs full ring. Later tonight when I sit down for a real session 1$ or 50 cent short handed. Right now while I blog, cook dinner for the kids, and chat on the phone with my laptop on the kitchen counter... 25 cent full ring game.

That, and overall I am playing less poker than I have for a long time so don't mistake this for a way for me to play MORE. But the simple fact is that every online player cant help but play sessions in non ideal environments. I will put it under advisement to follow this rule when I am going to play and I am not at my sharpest for whatever reason.
