Re: Going from4 to 8 tables, transition question
I went straight from 4 to 8 tables. No big adjustment and no hit to my ROI. What I had to do was to cut out the browsing/watching TV while playing.

Do you think that your ROI is lower now that you are used to it than it was when you were 4 tableing? Can you estimate how much it dropped if it did go down? I would be happy with a confidence of only 25% on that number, I just need something rough to aid my decision to move up or play more tables right now. Thanks a lot for your other comments, they were extremely useful. [/ QUOTE ] Play more tables, then move up, while still playing that # of tables. Play 10. It's not as bad as it sounds. |

Re: Going from4 to 8 tables, transition question
4, 8, 12 tabling, it's all the same. Just make sure that you have some distractions since you'll be bored unless you're 24-tabling.
I've done 32 before and that was pretty tough. 8 is cake. |

However, my ROI has gone up substantially since I've been 8-tabling. I've been thinking about why -- very possible that I'm just on a nice heater. I also feel like when I'm playing 8 I get just slightly less bored in the early game, minimizing the risk that I'll do something stupid with marginal cards...therefore maximizing the chances that I'll make the late, high-blind game in each tourney -- where, obviously we know, our advantages over other players are at their widest point. But, then again, maybe I'm just on a heater. I will say, though, that now that I'm used to it, I certainly don't think I play noticeably worse at all. It'll really be up to how you handle the transition in your own personal case, though. |

Re: Going from4 to 8 tables, transition question
Story time:
I started out at the 55s playing 4 tables. I played 700 in august with a ROI of 22%. The last 250 or so I was so bored that I wasn't even looking at the games while playing: I was browsing the net or chatting. So I bought another monitor to start 8-tabling in september. My ROI went down to 10% over 1000 sngs that month, and 9% over 600 sngs in october. Now, the 12-13% ROi drop can be due to: 1) playing 8 tables. 2) getting off a heater / starting a downswing 3) the games getting harder 4) me getting worse 5) a combination of these factors Your pick. Rough estimate: +/- 15% ROI |

Re: Going from4 to 8 tables, transition question
As others have said, try 6 and see how you feel about it. If you feel rushed, stick with 6 until you are comfortable.
Personally, I played one set of 6 tables and knew right away that I could handle more. I advise you to get Tweak UI (if you haven't already), you really don't want to be wasting time clicking the same action twice. |
