But its not boring at all if you analyze what happens all the time...

That's the main thing I am working on, analyzing a hand whenever there is a raise pf.

Too often when I am in a hand I still play in "auto mode" instead of going by reads.

I use the off hands to practice staying focused for when I am in a hand. It is too bloody easy for your mind to stray.

Funny thing is hand reading isn't the hard part, simply staying focused so you can read is. At least for me.

I almost always win a buyin within 2-4 hours...

[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] This is not an impressive earn rate to an expert multitabler.
[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I don't believe you average 20 PTBB/100 between NL 200 and NL 600 while playing 1 table. If you do, please post PT screen shots. Until then, I'll assume you have been running hot and hope it is because you have been playing one table because that would mean it is sustainable.

Ack, that's where the confusion is coming from. Yeah sorry, don't know why I said I always win within 2-4 hours.

I got that number because most days I do not put in an all day session. Plus, as I stated, I do play 2 tables a bit, which is why the title of the post says "1/2 tables".

My winrate is about a half buy-in per hour. I'd guess that many other players are about there.

i think most are missing his (poorly worded) point: a great hourly earn doesn't mean much if the style severely limits your hours.

why is it common for online pros to only put in 20-30 hours a week playing, when other full time jobs are more like 40-50 hours/week? It's not because they're lazy. A more stressful style of play leads to less time playing.

Taking a more long term look, compare two players of equal skill: Player A 4-tables 25 hours a week, Player B 2-tables 40 hours a week. At the end of the year Player A will almost certainly have made more money, and had more free time on his hands. He'll also be more apt to burn out, and his game will probably have improved less than Player B.

I wonder if in the very long term NOT multitabling will actually be more profitable.

The guy 2 tabling for 40 hours a week is way more likely to burn out than the guy 4 tabling 25 hours a week.

His point is flawed.

Regardless I wouldn't go pro unless I could maintain a high quality of life on 15 hours of play a week and 40 weeks per year.

Cuz it's not an easy gig and the dream of playing pro for me is the freedom.

If you are referring to me, that wasn't my point at all. I simply stated that hardly anyone averages a buyin a day. If there are so many successful multi-tablers, this seems odd.

It's not odd at all. Few people are winning players. However, I think it's impossible for a good multitabler not to average a buy in per day at the very least.
