[QUOTE="invitro, post: 242345, member: 446"] How much TPA do you play? I'm only speaking for myself, but I play it a LOT. Steam says I've played it 6,770 hours... well that isn't right, but I'm probably over 1,000. I was not very good at TPA when I first started, and very gradually got better, and am still improving. I have never cared so much where my best scores were, as long as they were improving. The main reason I've played TPA so much is to first get almost all my scores into the top 1000, then the top 100, now the top 20... At the highest level, stamina might be the most important factor. Thirty minutes? Some of the #1 games took over thirty HOURS. That's only for the very, very top, but I've had many three to twelve hour games (that's without pauses, I pause and take breaks frequently and so now often have games last over two or three days). Having the optimum strategy is crucial for certain tables, and important for all of them, especially if you don't want to play many more hours than you need to :). Most tables in TPA have terrific strategies laid out in detail in their individual forums. My advice: look for anything vikingerik and Tarek Oberdieck say. [/QUOTE]
