8-tabling vs 4-tabling

[illunious]

I usually plan on playing 4 tables (mostly SH $100), but if I'm on great tables and there's more juicy (loose/big avg pot) games available, I'll add more up to 8. After 4, I find it impossible to not play tighter/ABCer than normal, but if all my games are great like this, ABC isn't a bad thing to be, and it's definitely more profitable to be on as many as I can handle.

I doubt you'll be able to get solid reads on 8 tables (I definitely can't). A HUD would probably help you a lot with 8.

A 2nd monitor is still worth the money even if you play 4 tables. Extra space for lobbys, web browser, observing tables is real nice to have.
