Default getting bored

Hey guys. I am winning at a nice rate, however I am getting extremely bored of grinding and currently dont have the motivation to 4-6 table for 3-4 hours at a time. Have you guys gone through this at a certain point during your playing at these levels. I have been playing 6 max .5/1 and 1/2 recently and took a shot or two at 2/4. Right now I just feel like a robot playing and I find myself multi tasking while I play which isnt good. Do any of you have any suggestions to get back in the mood to play? Maybe a nice little prop bet could get this going too, so if any of you have prop bet ideas too that would be sick. Thanks, be good.

then don't play 4-6 tables for 3-4 h ours at a time? That sounds pretty terrible anyways.
Just take a 5+ minute break every hour.
If you feel like you are playing like a robot, take off your hud and two table, and focus on every hand. You will be surprised how different it is.

Learn how to play HU. Not only will it make you a better 6max player it'll hopefully make you like playing again (because it feels more like a competition, less like a grind).

When I play I suffer with this as well. From my experience its best to take a break at a regular interval (Regardless of how you feel). Maybe try to shorten up your sessions. You need to find a way to make it exciting for you. Playing when you are bored is usually a bad formula if you want to maximize profits.

I recommend going for a 15 minute jog before each session and having lots of cold water while playing.

Just my 2 cents.

play more tables and play less hours

i'd kill myself if i was only allowed 4 tables and had to sit there for longer than 90 minutes.

More tables, open your game up more, add some music, take a long break to split up your session.
