Default Re: More than 4 tables

[ QUOTE ]
Basically if you are a winning player, tiredness/fatigue aside, the more hands you play in a session, the more likely it is that it will be a winning session. It doesn't matter how you get more hands in, whether by playing more tables at one time, or playing a longer time at the same number of tables.

This is true, except it overlooks the phenomenon that playing more tables reduces your expectation (expressed in BB/100 hands) uniformly at all your tables. When this expectation multiplied by numbers of tables starts diminishing then you are playing sub-optimally.

Imagine a guy who can on average make 3 BB/100 playing 1 table. He can make 2.5 BB/100 playing 2 tables, 2.2 BB/100 playing 3 tables, and 1.6 BB/100 playing 4 tables. How many tables should he play?
