6-Tabling Question about Time

ebaudry · #1 10-03-2005, 11:37 PM

How long is your average set when you 6-table?

When you 6-table continuously, how many tables do you play over a 3 hour session. (or 2 hour session, just something over an hour to let the effect of continuous-ness come into play)

OT: Does it make your eyes hurt? [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

You should average about 8.5 sngs per hour. My eyes didn't hurt.

I can finish 12 in 1hr and 45 min, never played continuosly for more than that. And for some reason, Yes, my eyes do hurt.

Re: 12 tables in 1h45m, is that your average of doing that many times, or is that just one data point?

I'm thinking my eyes might hurt for 2 possible reasons after the shift from 4 to 6 tabling.

Reason 1) My eye movements now are a little more hurried, and I don't have as many little breaks here and there to "rest"

Reason 2) The 2 recently added tables are on my laptop monitor instead of my 2001FP. Both screens are beautiful, but maybe it stresses my eyes to switch back and forth between the two somewhat different displays.

Im not hardcore enough for continuous

plus, since it only just recently occured to me that Im a donk ( I know, I know) I take a break in between to look over iffy hands.

My current setup (about to get a new 12table setup though) is 2 tables on my laptop (1024x768) and 4 on my dell 2001. The difference in res doesn't affect my eyes in any way (that I can tell). Looking at lcds for too long does make me tired though.
