Re: Sets vs. Continuous? Your reasons.
12 table stars in sets
Continuous is way too hectic especially when you want to be in the same frame of mind for each table. When I get 8-12 tables near the bubble it's nearly impossible for me to take the time to load up others and still concentrate on ones I have.

hate to sound like a complete fool but what is the difference between sets and continuous? [/ QUOTE ] Sets: Start up 6 (or 4 or 8) and play them all to completion. Then start another 6. Continuous: Start up 6 and when you go bust in 1 start up a new one so you are always playing 6 at a time. Velocity

I'd rather be comfortable with the way I am playing and feel fresh after a day of playing instead of running straight into a wall.

Money is an important factor but so is being able to play 20-25 days a month without getting jaded.

Re: Sets vs. Continuous? Your reasons.
Continuous.
If I'm ITM on a few tables at once and I need to concentrate, I'll just wait 'til I've finished a few tourneys to start new ones. I'm a wuss who only does four at once, though.

There's no one right answer because different people are capable of different things. Some people can play continuously without much strain. Others can do it for only a few hours before feeling like they really need a good long break. And for yet others it's not the style of play but the number of tables that pushes play from enjoyable or manageable to irritating or exhausting. If you're the type it doesn't wear on, obviously playing continuously, and as many tables as possible, is the way to go. But others might be able to actually get more games in by playing in sets instead, and not getting worn out or feeling nutty.

Re: Sets vs. Continuous? Your reasons.
I played continuous tonight for the first time in a while. After 2 hours, my eyes were burning, i had to pee like crazy and I was feeling generally disgruntled and uncomfortable.
Plus, and here's my big problem. If I decide to take a break after a couple of hours, i have to wait until all the tourneys I have going with very staggered starts finish. So I always end up having like 1 table open for 20 minutes while it finishes up. I find that incredibly annoying and I have a hard time playing my A game in that last tourney.

Re: Sets vs. Continuous? Your reasons.
i play sets of 8, i can't play continuous because i get burned out and end up playing fewer sngs/day.
i think a good alternative to playing continuous is to start up a couple of ring games at the end of your set. that way you're using the empty screen space but then you stop as soon as all your sngs end and take your short break before starting the next set.
