# of tables question for the forum

[baronzeus]

After a discussing with Tongni yesterday about multitabling and winrate, I'm beginning to question my own decision to 6-8 table the mid-limit the 6max games (30/60-50/100) once I start playing almost full time.


I've been thinking a lot about my past successes and failures in poker, and everything seems to point to playing less tables. Essentially, every good run I can think of has occurred during periods when I've chosen to play 3-4 tables MAX (including my insane runs at 300/600 and 500/1000) and my long breakeven stretches seem to correspond to the times when I start running bad, and decide to start "grinding": 8 tabling 30/60 full, or 6+ tabling shorthanded games, etc.

This can of course be due to coincidence. Actually, I feel like I play just as well when playing 6+ tables vs 4 tables, and get pretty bored doing the latter. (PS: if anyone has seen me playing 6-8tabling 6max on stars 10/20-30/60, what do you think of my play? Do you ever feel like I make obviously poor decisions as a result of multitabling?)

So my question here is for all you SHLHE players: how many tables do you play?

I've also decided to start posting in MHSH and SSSH. I'm taking next quarter of classes very light and will have lots of time to devote to poker. Improving my game hasn't been a priority for the past 5 or 6 months and I think that has been detrimental to my game.
