Multi-Table Growing Pains?
Three weeks ago I moved from 2-3 tables at a time to 4-5. (Even bought a 2nd large LCD) I know I'm not giving a large sample size and it could completely be variance, but I am on a huge downward swing. Did anyone else experience this? Is it growing pains or am I not ready?
For the past 3 days I moved back down to 2-3 games and returned to my previous rates. (roughly 37% ITM, 13%ROI) |

Only you can answer that question.
As a general rule, though, it doesn't help to play more games if you're losing them. |

I remember starting with 4 thinking how can people do that now I do 8 no problem and could probably handle 12 but the eyestrain bothers me.

Re: Multi-Table Growing Pains?
Although I use Poker Tracker I still write down every single tournament I play in (including buy-in, type of game, finish, etc)
Reason I'm telling you this is because I've written notes to myself all over the notebook like: "DO NOT PLAY MORE THAN 3 TABLES UNTIL YOU GET BACK OVER (insert bankroll here)!!!!" - (in huge letters over the whole page) I'm constantly fighting w/ this. I feel like I'm playing solid but every time I add a table or two I inevitably hit a downswing despite making the proper plays. All that said, I'm pretty comfortable 5 tabling now and I'm running "normal" for the first time of my life. But I still drop tables at times to avoid tilt, and to make sure I'm playing solid when a bad stretch comes. I also belive my comfort level will be at 5 for a while. That's about as many as I can play while still having a good handle on all the tables. |

Re: Multi-Table Growing Pains?
After looking at my totals for July I definately think I'll go back down to 3 tables.
I think your tilt comment is right on. Thats probably where I lost a good chunk of change. |
