Happy birfday aliiis!

Now got four Christmas pressies bought, and one is in transit (hopefully).

It's cold.

I've recently discovered that I make a lot more money playing poker by playing a hell of a lot of tables at once. I just further proved this by completing ten tournaments between seven and eight pm (seven of them single tables, so yes I lost in the multi-tables...), and recouping $223.50 from stakes of $125 (+$12.50 in rakes). This is much more efficient, and since I've now had enough poker already tonight, it gives me two or three more hours to waste in other ways. It's also reason that I've doubled my bankroll in the last ten days. Maybe more of you will get pressies!

it is cold :(

multi-tabling is more efficient, if you can handle it

I nearly went mad when I was heads-up in four at once and once other was down to four...

Until recently I didn't bother with more than three or four at once. Too much time to think and be clever maybe!

oh right, i thought 4 was multi-tabling, unless you have two monitors and can do 8.how many did you have going?

[cheekbones3.livejournal.com]

I had eight at the most, just on one monitor...

BTW I am having a poker evening at my place later this month and you're welcome to come along (only one game at a time, mind :-))

I've never tried being on more than two tables at a time. That's enough for me!

I just get bored :o)

I personally find playing 1 or 2 tables helps me focus on them and try to determine what sorts of players I'm playing with. I started doing single and double table tourneys again since playing with guy in the Hoose. It seems to have focused my concentration more and in the 16 I've played so far have cashed in 10, winning 6 of them.

More sensible way to play, but playing lots stops my concentration from wavering, which I find is my biggest problem.
