continuous play vs. sets

[runner428]

sorry if there is already a post covering this topic,

i play 27 turbos on stars, and im just starting to get serious in to multi tabling sngs with a goal of roughly 40 tourneys a day. i was wondering if opening a new table every time i bust up to a certain ammount, or play sets of tournaments equal to that ammount, waiting untill my entire set is finished before starting another set.

any comments about pros and cons of both approaches are appreciated

i try to play continuous...you get more sngs in and stay more focused than if youre finishing up sets IMO. ill usually play sets if im just adding more tables to my repertoire or if i have time interests where i cant play continuous.

ive always liked sets better because they let me focus near the bubble and ITM since I'll only be playing like 4-5 at most during these times (start with 9 tables). Also, it can be a pain in the ass to open up new tables...

That being said, if I could comfortably play continuously and keep up my ROI my hourly rate would definitely go up. Maybe something to try later in the future...

the only reason i dont play continuous on stars is that i keep timing out. tables on the bubble and itm take more time+attention than lvl 1-3.

wish there was a program for Stars that auto enabled the timebank.

I play sets. I need more time to think when it gets down to 5-handed and less because of ICM calculations and paying attention to stack sizes.

I started continuous about a month ago and I like it a lot more than sets because I can get more play, and more $/hr.

To each his own really. I imagine you maximize your ROI playing sets, but I "feel" like I make more per hour playing continuous, so I play continuous. Sometimes though it is nice to play at a more laid back pace so I plays sets.

I have a problem sitting and playing for more than 90 min. I would like to play continuous, but i knid of play a mix of both... i usually start up my second set as my first is winding down depending on the # of tables ITM.... i have had issues where i had to play at a friends house and had to do coninuous because of time restrictions so i could get in enough games, but i was exausted after... You just gotta find what u like best... if you get bored easily, lean towards sets... if you can focus for a long time bust coninous for a few hours and your done for the day... if you go in and out of your house like 10-12 times a day [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] like me then mix em and feel confused... ??

I play a weird hybrid. Mostly in sets but I tend to have them overlap so when my last HU matches are winding down I start opening new ones.

Start with 8 or 9

When I starting busting out and it's too easy I add more.
If I'm timing out or in a [censored] of shorthanded spots I want til it simmers down.
