Default What should Bigwig do?

Now that I have the multi-monitor setup, I'm curious as to what you think I should do. Continue to work up to 8 tables, or move up in limits? I'm 4 tabling the $50s now, with ~18% ROI over about 1800 of them.

Please add your comments as well as your vote.

Thanks.

I would say even drop down to the 30s and multi table them. Just play 100 and get the hang of it, then move up to the 50s for a while.

Why did you buy the second monitor if you weren't going to 8table?

Well, I'm not going to jump from 4 to 8 tables like many do. I'd add one table at a time, do a set of 500, and evaluate if I'm ready for another.

So I don't intend on dropping limits. I'm too comfortable with the 1000 chips now.

I like to surf when I play.

But even if I moved up the $100s, I'd eventually start adding tables to get to 8. I'm in no rush. I'm making plenty of cash at this level and at my part-time real job.

Then just do the 55s for now. You won't be adding tables at the $109s for a while I assume.

No. I'd want to get about 2000 under my belt before adding tables.

If I stay at the $50s and learn to 8 table, I'd add $100s one at a time.

I'd rather learn at a lower level before I step up...even just adding one at a time, but that's just me.

My humble opinion thinks you should move up, not because of proft but because I think you will improve more by moving up rather than by adding more tables. Just my $0.02
