Has anyone 8-tabled the 6-max tables?

I'm thinking of 8-tabling (5/10 6m) and I'm wondering what people's experiences have been. Obviously, my BB/100 (currently 2.4BB/100 over 100k) hands will suffer, but I think my overall bb/hr ($81.12/hr) should go up if i'm not too overwhelmed...

Any thoughts?

*shrug* if you can do it, then go for it. Id start with 6 and then go to 7 and then 8. If it makes you more money but doesnt burn you out, it would be stupid not to do it.

TazQ and Schneids have done it

Yeah, I'm doin it at 5/10 6max now... I had been playing 8 full games and just started with 6 of 6max about a week ago, then tried 8 on my 2nd session and have been doing it since. With PT and playerview I don't think I'm missing much (except when my comp lags from too many things going on), however I only have ~10k hands so far and nothing to compare it to. I'm not certain I couldn't be making more playing 6 games, but I'm almost certain that I couldn't be doubling my expected win per/100 if I switched to 4 games.

For me the only times it seems to get hectic is when I find myself at a lot of bad tables and have to be switching a bunch. Also if it gets to 4 handed I'll usually wait for a few rounds for another player to come, and if not then switch (unless there's 1-2 really bad people playing)

I am sure that four of those 8 tables are on party. The other four? poker star? UB? I just don't see games at other sites as good.

Don't you ever time out when you do that? Some time out frequently and it makes it a drag to play them. Honestly, I hope Party does something about this.

Actually, none are at Party (but all party skins)...4 at empire, and 4 at either Eurobet or Pokernow

I been playing 7 or 8 6 max tables the last few days. Not that difficult to keep up. In fact I got bored earlier and added 3 SNGs in to the mix.

isn't eurobet sharing the player base with party/empire? how do you make it happen?

Yeah, its all the same games, but you can have sererate accounts on each one of them. YOu just can't sit at the same table as one of your other accounts.
