Kimo,

You're definitely correct, but no one is saying that ptbb/100 is really important on its own. If you had the choice between 3ptbb/100 playing 8 tables or 3.1ptbb/100 at 8 tables, you'd obviously pick the latter. My point is, even the slightest increase is beneficial to your bottom line, so why not do what you can to improve it? I would never advocate dropping tables down permanently just to achieve a higher win rate. What I would advocate is dropping the # temporarily to improve your play for when you step back up to 8 tabling. I'd gladly play 5-10k hands at 4 tables if it'll improve my 8-table win rate by .2. In the long-run, I will be better off.
