Default Re: 10 Table NL 2000 on Party to reduce variance

I have to second this, I haven't seen evidence anyone playing 10 tables for substantial periods lately. I haven't been playing 10/20 hardly at all the last few weeks but this sort of thing shows up in PT stats very, very quickly so I'm a little dubious of how many hours you are playing. That said, unlike most of the responses, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see you have success with this approach, Kristelita/Alikings dragged out a ton of money in the last 6 months using exactly this approach.

I can see 8-tables wouldn't be nearly as enjoyable. Pretty much work, although fun work. At some price point it's worth it to me to do that for 5-6 hours/week as a second job. Plus I am getting into country music and have a lot of albums to listen to while playing.

Where are there good 6-max 10-20 games? 10-handed poker is mopeds and Gallo red. Sometimes you can find shorthanded games on longhanded tables, but they fill b/c the pots get big. Too much hassle to keep skipping around tables.

Do you realize that playing more hands at a time increases variance?

prima; though it does seem to be a dying site.

Haha, I guess if playing more hands makes you play in some style that increases your standard deviation then you could be right. You always hear about these guys who push more small edges and play looser when they multitable [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

and some people become more prone to tilt when they play too many tables, etc. But, yes, if you play exactly the same then your StDev/hand stays the same no matter how many tables you play. Although, due to the large number of hands you are playing, the StDev/hr DOES decrease.

I personally have no fun playing poker at all. I do not consider it fun, when I am playing I consider it work and because of this I dont mind it. Playing 10 tables is mentally exhausting. Most of the time I do not enjoy playing poker. I play because I love money.

For those of you with responses that are mocking the people in this thread who say they multitable 10 tables or more, I feel sorry for you. Your envy is transparent.

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.
