I 12 tabled in August at 1.4 bb/100 over 20k hands, and the other 20k hands were 8 tabling at 2.1bb/100

I am very comfortable with 8 but I've been doing that for two years. I remember when I thought 3 was a lot. Once I got comfortable with 3 I went to four...then five...and so on.

It took over a year to get past three though.

I think the real drop in bb/100 comes after 8 tables. With a HUD and pokermods black screen and updated stats 8 tables is ok to follow the action well enough, but 12 tables was way too much for me. I dropped down to 8 because I was getting flustered and didnt have time to think.

Ok I'm done rambling.
