2 tables --- boooooooring!
Anyone else play worse when they're 2 tabling than when they're 4-tabling? I recently moved up from the 50NL at PP to the 100NL. At first, I decided to drop to 2 tables and figure out how the game went, and lost some money for a few weeks.
I thought about my losses and saw that I was trying to make a lot of moves when only playing 2 tables, whereas I was much more disciplined when 4-tabling (at 50NL this was also true). So, despite losing money, I added tables!! Not only was my winrate higher, my winrate per table was also increased substantially. Anybody else just get too damn bored with only 2 tables open??

Re: 2 tables --- boooooooring!
Absolutely agree, and it is the thing that has kept me away from B&M's. I normally 4 table just moving up to NL100, but the other day I was bored but at the same time not awake enough to play normally so I sat at 1 NL200 table. Made $150 in like 5 minutes with some really good hands, but left about 30 minutes later just about even again, because I was playing junk. I just get too impatient and start trying to make moves on every other hand.... how do you guys sit in B&M's and not play rags?

Re: 2 tables --- boooooooring!
This post is timely. I play recreationally (but profitably) and have always played one 6-Max table. I reviewing my play recently, I realized that bluffing/making moves at the 50NL and 100NL level was a HUGE leak in my game. I committed not to run a single bluff (continuation bets don't count) for two weeks (6 or 7 two hour sessions) to see what happened. Result: Win rate shot up. I know the sample size is miniscule, but the lesson is that bluffing at SSNL is almost never a good idea.

Re: 2 tables --- boooooooring!
I say that to myself everytime I think about it... it must be the GAMBOOL in me.
If you ever see the really impatient guy at Foxwoods Ghaz, that is me....

To me, at that level it is more "thinking" poker, and my discipline could remain intact with only 2 tables. Kind of getting worn out on the machine like tendencies that are generally required of 100NL and less.

Re: 2 tables --- boooooooring!
I know what you're talking about. I used to play better at 4 tables. When I first moved up to $25NL, I was 2 tabling to adjust. Once I started 4 tabling, I was much more successful. I used to get bored and try to make moves that go right over SS players' heads. I still need to work on only playing 1 table. Last week I played a home game and after not playing a hand for about 45 minutes, I was so excited to see AA that I extremely overplayed it and lost my stack.
