I forgot about this "getting paid to post" stuff....
Free money is nice, but I'm not overly concerned about it.
I am sure they will cancel it when I get to the 999th post or one before whatever number you need to cash.

I only play 1 table at a time. Always nl, whether its cash games, sit and go's, the multi sit and go's, or multitable tournies.

I tried multiple tables, but then found myself losing information. I find it very important for my game to be paying close attention to everything. I also take copious notes, and i cant imagine doing that on 3 or 4 tables at once.

Basically, i only play 1 because i want to pay full attention to it...how many pots is so and so entering, for how much usually, is he cold-calling, raising, re-raising.... and post flop play especially...who will call a medium size flop bet, without obvious draws out there, to try and hit his probable overs.... I try to figure out who likes to play small-ball throughout the hand, and who is gonna blast away....try to follow every action cause it always paints a picture, and that info comes in very hand in later hands that i'm involved in

I always try to have a gameplan for every guy i might be involved with during a hand, and i lose important parts of the picture if i'm playing other tables...

I'm probably just repeating stuff most of you do, but i can't do it as much as i want to while playing multiple tables. And while playing only 1 table might on the surface lower my ev per hour, i feel it doesnt...in fact i believes it increases my ev per hour because im playing at my top level the whole time

Jimmy, just about every site will let you play multi, except I believe Pacific only offers 1 table as well.

If you can fit 2 tables on to your screen without the need to flip back and forth, you can still keep pretty good player notes. You can also almost double what you make now, which I know in my case would make a huge difference.

Well, you could always experiment with it during one session. You may find it quite profitable to sacrifice your notes for the extra hands you will get to see. I find it pretty much the same profit margin at this point, but with some more experience playing more than 1 table at a time I'm sure in the long run I can make it more worth my while.

Oh I've definately tried it...on more than one occasion. I figured the same things, that it would increase profit, all of that.

But i'm not playing limit, and the amount of hands i see per hour are not as important...in my opinion...as the way i play every hand im involved in, and the way I am prepared for future hands.

I mean, Im not knocking playing more than one table. But for me, i feel it increases my ev to remain totally focused on one game, and maxime my earn in that game. I think my game goes downhill play 2 nl tables.

If i was playing limit, i would definately play more than one table. Because in limit, if you play well, the more hours you put in, the more profit you make like Chip Reese says.

Basically, I think that if i play 2 nl tables at once, i am not playing my best game at either....and i dont think adding up two tables of my "b" or "c" games equals out to what i make playing my "a" game at one....especially at no limit, where mistakes can be disastrous.
