I was wondering the guys that multi table how many tables do you play at once. i normally play 3 and like to win at least 2/3 which gives me a profit. I used to play 4 tables at a time but needed to win 3/4 for a profit and found this difficult although it makes no differance over a large amount of games.
I'll play between 6 and 8, I definitely do think you can play better and pick things up playing fewer but the increased edge this gives you won't outweigh the fact you can get twice as much volume in. As long as you're not timing out of hands I think you should stretch and add more in.
The most I ever play is 3 tables, mainly because I dont have a choice with plo8 but also I love to chat and struggle to keep the chat going if I play more than 3. On the most part though I just play 1 table because im usually doing other non poker things also! Obviously id love to make a profit but I play more for enjoyment and relaxation so Im happy to have just one on the go.
For you guys that play 4 plus tables what do you do if someone calls to the door, you get unexpected visitors, your phone rings and you have to go somewhere, your wife calls you to assist with something????
in the interest of being fair and open, during the sky issues today i "played" 2 dyms, one which i lost and one which i won, when enetering results i will deduct one of each to keep it accurate to games ive actually played
I would advise agasint that RLT, but it is your choice.
This issue happened before as I had mentioned preiously, and I had 2 games missing (turns out I won both) but it will get very messy if your going to be making manual changes for everyone.
I suggest in the course of 1000 games these odd games shouldnt impact the overall result much.
Your choice however. D'ont include my 2 games manually I'm happy to go with sharkscope.
first losing day for 16 days yesterday. But managed to claw back and win last 3 games to end 4/8. Total this 100 is 61/92.
Playing well and getting lucky. i'm really happy with the way things are going. I'm chasing you down gearadirl.
The other night i opended up the lobby and saw BB Mike and Stuarty had registered for a game and decided to miss that game because of 2 tough regs at the table. I was wondering if anyone table selects before registering. I'm happy to play DYMs with 1 of you regs at the table but with 2 really good players it can make life difficult to cash.
I play at the times that suit me, don't really mind who's in the lobbies. I'll reg for as many as I want to play at the time then just hit the Play Again button until it's time to stop.
If I had the choice of course I'm always gonna play the tables with weaker players. If you can make the same profit in 10 games against weak opponents as you can in 25 games against good opponents its logical to pick and choose your games.
If you dont care about profit and want to challenge yourself then just play the good players.
I suspect most would like a mix.
I think if you have the choice, choosing your table is exactly like choosing your starting hands. In this 1k challenge if you win 65% of games and someone says but you only played against bad players I think you would take that over a 55% against good players.
In plo8 I dont really have much choice because of low traffic but there have been times if Im going through a bad run I wont join a table if there are 3 or 4 strong players at it.

I definitely use table selection and feel it is vital to good profits. If theres 2 regs at a table already then I'll rarely sit on it. I do prefer to be the first person sat on a table though then let everyone else worry about it. I assume there are some regs that would rather not have me in their games, just like id rather not have them in mine (not in a horrible way, i mean it in a completely respect based way) so by sitting first hopefully these people choose not to sit with me and im left with more weaker players. I also like to pick out players who i know have very exploitable weaknesses, for example players that only defend there BB with premium hands, this can be such an easy way to ensure u cash its definitely worth looking out for.
Though let's face it at some times of the day you just have to sit down and deal with whoevers there or you dont get a game.
Car crash last night, I'm sure Spinky is using table selection to hunt me down and get seated to my left, then proceed to rudely win all flips ever. Couldn't even hold TT vs AJ hitting a T on the flop. 2/8 on the day, let's hope I get to see the reverse of this run soon.
3rd 100 50/91, would like to win at least 7 of the last 9 we'll see.
It was brutal yesterday couldn't win a single hand which was getting me mad and making mistakes, with being in the ukpc final satellite I decided to stop playing and do a little run to calm down. This helped a lot as I crushed the satellite and won my seat so maybe I will see some of you in Nottingham.
challenge wise I haven't got a clue how am doing now but hopefully I am still at 60%

Just squeezed in 5, won 3. Seem to be fine margins, can't complain too much but want to be doing a bit better.
