Default Re: why are there ppl 8 tabling 2/4 on party

Hi Tom,

Do you actually forgo sweating reads and make default plays as if against unknowns the whole time? Or can you get some reads while playing so many tables and doing something else at the same time?

My guess is that they rely solely on pokertracker numbers for reads. These can actually be quite helpful, particularly in preflop decisions, in LHE.

The overall goal is of course to maximize hourly earn, and eight-tabling generally achieves this. Although they would probably make more money if they did move up, but it would be much harder and there would be a lot more variance due to their decreased edge. There are plenty of reasons to eight table 2/4 instead of move up, there are also reasons to move up.

Best wishes,
einbert
