8 tabling??

I am curious to the multi table craze? I am fairly knew to forum but have been playing online for about a year. What advantage is there to 8 tabling 55's to just 3 or 4 tabling the 109's. The vig reduction (1 % diff) itself makes a fairly significant difference in the long term for your ROI. Curious as to what I am missing?

People are 8-tabling the $55s instead of 3-4 tabling the $55s.

Those who play $109s 8-table at that level instead of four tabling.

I guess what I was getting at is if you can 8 table 55's successfully then wouldn't you be successful 4 tabling 109's?

[codewarrior]

Think of it this way - If you can sucessfully two table 55s - does that make you a sucessful 109 player?

[lorinda]

If you could 8-table 50s, why not 8-table $100s when you move up?

less variance, worse players.

I don't play either the 55's or 109's, but I would bet that most people 8x the 55's over 5x ing the 109's because the 55's are softer.

Just in case you're not thinking very clearly, which I'm sure you are, you don't need significantly more bankroll to 8-table $55s than you do to 4 table $55s.

You do however need double the bankroll to 1-table the $109s

well.. this isnt always true. the roi drop can cause a VERY high increase in yer ror if you only have around 50 buyins. that can be quite troublesome. holla

Dont get me wrong I am not saying that the 109's are a better play than multi tabling 55's? At first it seemed a no brainer to me but seeing so many accomplished players opting for lower limit higher volume I knew I was missing something. At the 55's it appears you need a win rate % increase of almost 2 points to compensate for the increased vig. Has anyone compared their win rates of 55's vs 109's?

ive played around.. 8k 55s, maybe more i dont keep track anymore, and my lifetime is around 16% roi. in the 109s, i have around 4-5k maybe, and im hovering between 9-10% roi. itms on both suck. all of those are from 8 tabling though, so i havent compared the differences 4 tabling.

as for lower buyin higher volume? lol, im kinda testing that to the extreme right now, and i kinda dig it. holla

Not necessarily the only reason, but you need a smaller BR to 8 table the $55s than you do to 4 table the $109s.

Bro, I'm not sure how this can't be obvious. At the 55's people play worse. One percent less vig does not compensate enough for the tougher competition at the 109's.
Surely u considered this

[AliasMrJones]

Less variance, lower bankroll requirements, players are worse and hence the games are easier at the lower level. 55's are easier to play both from a skill level perspective and from a mental/money perspective. So, to many players looking to make more money, adding tables seems easier than moving up levels.

I made a mistake the win % diff would only have to be abt .05% for the same ROI. Not 2% as I stated earlier so I guess the increased Vig is not that big of a hit to the ROI on the 55's.

I heard you are 20 tabling the 20s, youll have to keep us posted on how that goes because that is insane.
