Re: making a profit
Bluffoon has a very good point.. you must maintain discipline. If you start getting bored try opening up another table or two, so you have a chance at getting better cards more often and dont feel inclined to play your marginal hands.

Re: making a profit
I suggest only playing one table online. The reason is that because you can't see the other players, and they change so frequently, it is very important to pay close attension to betting habits and other note taking.
I play .25-.5 PL and average 40 bb/hr playing one table. The only time i will play a second is when i have a good awareness of my current table. I can't speak for other players because they seem to advocate the use of multi table playing, but as for me, i tend to get into huge losing streaks when i'm playing two tables. |

Re: making a profit
I agree. Play single table on line and make it your primary goal to catagorize each player at the table so you know how to play against them. My catagories, in order of frequency seen, are: (1)fish, (2)seems ok, (3)aggressive fish, (4)tight, (5)weak, (6)equal to or slightly better than me, and (6)avoid. After a while it becomes very easy to pick the table to join next time based on your records. Naturally, I pick the one with the most fish.

Time is ticking on each as you make your plays. I dont see how they read players and make good decisions, unless the computer does it for them [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] |

Re: making a profit
I would say to start with one table just so you get the feel for the speed of the online game versus B&M. Shortly add a 2nd. Here is where you must decide if you can handle adding more.
When I first started multitabling, I found it like complete chaos. I currently 4 table (need a damn 2001FP) and when I'm switching tables and only have 1 or 2, it's amazing how slow everything feels. But the biggest recommendation in this area I have to give is to follow everyone else and get a monitor that lets you multitable without overlap. IT's a world of difference. HOpe this helps.
