Re: 10 Table NL 2000 on Party to reduce variance
[ QUOTE ]
Can you outline your monitor setup? Do you use 2 or 4? Box or line? Horizontal or vertical orientations? Thanks. [/ QUOTE ] Matt, I use two computers and three monitors with 1600x1200 resolution. I like the two mouse set up. The most irritating thing for me is when the tables continue to pop up, making it difficult for me to type in a bet (or chat). Moving half the games to another computer helps with this annoyance. I can put up to 8 full size tables on the dual monitor computer and three full size plus three UB in mini-view on the other. Usually I keep it to 11 games at peak times, and my table hour/hour average is about 8.5. If you try this out for an extended period of time, I'd be really curious to get your opinion on how much big time multi tabling affects your big blinds/table hour. I am constantly torn between playing fewer games better and more games with a lower winrate. I figure even if my winrate is cut in half (per table hour), if I play twice as many games, I'll make more (based on rakeback and bonus). Overall, I would like to balance my play between making the most money and getting better at poker. I really feel like I've stagnated with regards to getting better over the last six or seven months. Of course the flip side of that is $$$$$. Thanks |

I probably do, but I don't think I'm going to check.

Yes it does. Think about it. If you play 1 hand in one minute versus 100 hands in one minute, then at the end of one minute, in which case do you expect to experience higher variance? Of course it's the 100 hands case. I am not referring to variance per hand. [/ QUOTE ] what are you talking about? you can easily make, say, +20 BBs in one hand. that gives you 20 BB/hand. however, if you play 100 hands, i dont think youre going to see 20 BB/hand. that one hand can also easily be -100 BB, 0 BB, -1 BB, +7BB, etc. larger sample size = less variance |

Re: 10 Table NL 2000 on Party to reduce variance
what about if I play 15 tables and look at hot chicks on myspace? How does this affect my variance?

Re: 10 Table NL 2000 on Party to reduce variance
I did this for the better part of the year, extremely boring and extremely stressful. The biggest problem with this style of play is that it magnifies tilting to the extreme. If your game is off than its off on 10 tables instead of just four. RSI is also a big issue, I can't do it anymore because my wrists can't take it.

Of course if you're talking in terms of bankroll, the variance is going to increase as a function of how many hands you play. If you've only played 1 hand, you can't be down more than 12BB's, and can't be up more than 108BB's. After a million hands, your bankroll is going to be up (or down) a whole lot more than this range.. In terms of BB/100, it should work the other way. The variance of your BB/100 will go down as you play more hands. After 1 hand, your BB/100 could really be anything (from -12*100 to +108*100), but after 1mm hands, it's going to have a pretty narrow range. I really dont feel like crunching numbers, but I'm guessing it's going to be within a 1BB/100 spread. |
