Default Playing in sets gives you a higher ROI? What about $/ht?

I was thinking that by having fewer tables opened late in the game, you're probably being able to pay more attention, thus giving you more EV, but is it enough that it actually produces the same or a higher $/hr?

What do you think?

the problem with this poll is that you can't tell from the results which answers matched each other. Did polltaker X think sets gave him a higher ROI, but lower hourly rate, or were both higher? i'm confused just talking about it.

I don't know about ROI, but playing continuously gives you way more $$/hr

However there are other intangibles not really mentioned that one can choose to take into account (and many set players do take into account).

"I don't know about ROI, but playing continuously gives you way more $$/hr"

And you would say that this comes from getting in about 10games/hour 8-tabling continuously vs. about 8.5 ish tables/hr playing in sets on 8 tables?

And that these added ~1.5 tables/hr add more $ than is lost through decreased decision making late, lowered stamina, needing to pee, increased distractions, and so on?

Do I have that about right?

Sort of slightly off the topic, but I'd thought I'd share my new method of multi-tabling if anyone cares... I used to try playing in sets of three, but it just got too hairy at times. So now I basically don't see the need to say I 8 table continuous, or 6 table in sets, or whatever. I just first start up 5 tables, when it gets too easy, I fire up some more.

I voted higher for both, but that is really just my feel right now. One thing it certainly gives you is clearly defined bathroom/snack/get the hell away from the computer breaks. I do replace tables that I get bounced from early in the set, but that maybe adds 10% to the STT's I play.

(Another thing is I usually scan for tripple draw games when I finish a set, since I would really rather be playing that right now, but all too often there are just none going.)
