Aleksey Altshuller's Professional Approach to Poker Marathons

Aleksey Altshuller estimates that less than 10% of poker marathons on the forum end successfully. Over three years, 543 topics were created in the 'Poker Bets and Marathons' section, with 53 topics not progressing beyond the initial post and 87 topics having fewer than three posts.

Altshuller suggests that marathon goals should be challenging but achievable, with a clear plan and structured approach. He recommends setting qualitative goals rather than quantitative ones, as the latter can be influenced by randomness and variance in poker.

Anatoly Dykalis shares his experiences with poker marathons, including completing 50,000 hands in 26 hours. He notes that while marathons can be fun and challenging, they should not be solely for monetary gain.
