If you are a winning player no matter your stack size and you play your a game even at the end of long sesions, then playing long sessions is fine.
I have found many decent Party NL and PL players are not used to playing with deep stacks and at times have trouble playing since implied odds go up and they usually are forced to play good poker beyond just the flop.
So it all depends, but I think you knew that.
My all time high in a $100 buyin game at party is $1200, for a $25 table $500. And I tend to jump tables quick if I don't like the player selection.

IMO, the game is about table/game selection. If you are at a table where you are much better than the others then it is a positve EV situation and in theory you should never leave.
For example, I was at a table once where there were 4 HORRIBLE players. Basically, I made the decision not to get up until they busted or left. It was so obvious that the 6 of us were avoiding confrontations and picking on the other 4.
Personally, I RARELY get worried/happy about short term results. I treat the game as one life long session where individual sessions matter little and trends are the things to monitor.

o.k. I'm not apoker expert by any means, at least not for texas holdem, but, I do agree of course that there's a lot of bad players out there that even I can take advantage of... perhaps the best time to play is late at night hoping to runinto a drunk and stupid player, even though yeah its a different time everywhere around the world I know this, maybe their are more players in the U.S.? I have no idea.
Now, the problem I have with online poker is I'm suspicous of the software. I have played a lot of cards in my relatively short years, and, some of these combinations of hold cards/river cards is a little bit too much to swallow. It seems to me, and to a lot of other players, that the softare is rigged to create a sort of bidding war between two players who both think they probably have an unbeatable/semi-unbeatable hand, and then the guy with the inferior hand will pull a miraculous straight-draw with the river card... I know this happens on occasion but the frequncy of these oddball hands just seems too high to me...

I see the same things online that I do live.
Remember that you see hands online at 3x the speed that you do live. It normally takes 30 minutes to do a full orbit in HE live but online that takes maybe 10 minutes. The strange occurences you see online do happen more frequently but only because you see more hands in the same period of time.
