Of course on when the games are the juiciest ever I run like [censored]. Flop 5 sets against mega donks and they all fold to my flop but of course minraise me when I hit nothing and KK runs into donks AA. Somehow only down 2 BIs but so lameeeeeeee.

Hi guys

I've been trying my hand at multitabling for the first time in the last 4-5 days. Got some pointers/advice from some of you by pm, so thanks those that gave me pointers.

As you guys know I'm something of a Lag, I thought you'd be interested in how a Lag does



I know it's not a great swample size, but I'm initially encouraged, especially because the first 3 thousand was getting a feel, and I was aware I was calling raises far too loose preflop, and tightened up a bit on that, and improved winrate and reduced swingyness somewhat.

I'll be rolled enough for nl100 shortly, and I've decided to stick with multitabling 50 and 100 from now on, and when I get roll for nl200, I'll stick with single-tabling that. I'll also be making sure to do at least 2-3 multitabling sessions a week as 'game maintenance' (much like I play one shortstack session a week), to help me look into the minds of you multitablers, to exploit you better.

Anyway, my multitabling vs single-tabling stats should make an interesting stats comparison for winrates etc in the long term.

here I attempt to shortstack 100nl:

I realise I will no receive no pity for getting a bad beat while shortstacking.

[bottomset]

please do one of 2 things

A. reload
B. die

[BT2]

woohooo! i just did some shortstacking of nl400 today to get back an $80 mistake i made at nl100. i ended up making $136 then quit. part of me is thinking there is something to shortstacking, while the other part is saying i just got lucky.

What are some people's opinions about the future of the cash bonuses available for FPP purchase at Stars? Is it a general consensus that they will continue past the June 30th 'review'? I just finished two deposit bonuses there ($50 first, $150 10B), and I think I might switch over for good if those bonuses are going to stick around long enough for me to get to Supernova.
