Part of poker is management of emotions. One reason that a lot of people don't play well in B&M is precisely that they get impatient. What you guys want, because you know this is indeed a problem, is to be free of one of the requirements of playing good poker.

And I know you guys want a lot of hands so you can cherry pick the best hands and ignore the others. If some guy is making a play on you, and your hand is marginal, you want the freedom to toss it and move on since you are being busy at other tables anyway.

That may be good rote poker, but it isn't real poker. Real poker requires you to have the discipline to toss a marginal hand when you are frustrated by not having seen a good hand in an hour.

Blah blah blah blah blah. Get a clue. You sound silly. I played "real poker" in casinos for ten years before internet poker's inception. When online poker came around, I made the necessary changes to my game. Mostly it was like going from chess to speed chess. But I did it, and learned how to profitably add tables. However, back in the late 90’s, you were only allowed to play one table. Looks like you got a late start.

If you can't beat a guy playing 12 tables, what makes you think you’ll be able to beat that guy if he was giving you his full attention and looking to mix it up because he has nothing better to do? Online poker is different from live poker, but they are both "real" poker. If you can't beat it, just go play live with the drunks on Friday night at your local B&M room.

And these are the guys you don't want at your table?

Yeah, losing with a set, top two, KK, AA and a flush all at the same time and having to make good decisions on three more tables doesn’t take any emotional management.
