Re: Sets vs. Continuous
continues sucks. If a boss asked for the continues focus, no breaks, no life that playing continuous hour after hour requires, you'd quit, and/or do a [censored] job after a while. Why do to yourself what you wouldn't let "the man" do to you.

I HAVE NEVER taken a break until towards the end, where I take all my breaks at once. If your goal is playing so many SNG's a day, why not just play continuous and take one big break rather than all the small ones? |

Re: Sets vs. Continuous
Continuous is my preference. The most I have played straight is 78 and that was 10 tabling. I felt awesome after that [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. I'll see if I can beat that tomorrow.

Re: Sets vs. Continuous
Ten tabling in sets is perfect for me. Early and late play is so brainless that I can watch TV or talk on the phone or do homework or something, only really playing intense poker for maybe 10 minutes each set. If I played continuously, all of my games would be at varying stages, and I would have to have a certain portion of my attention consistently devoted across the span of an hour rather than letting it fluctuating in waves. This works for me because I have a short attention span. Also, I rarely have a solid 3-4 hour block of time that I can devote to poker. I have to squeeze in a set here and there to get my 20 hrs/wk.

Re: Sets vs. Continuous
I seem to get better results when I play in Sets. IDK maybe too small of a sample size.

Re: Sets vs. Continuous
I used to play sets of 4, after a while I switched to continuous. It isn't much harder, if at all, and it increases your hourly rate a bit.

[/ QUOTE ] But, because you eliminate the hassle of dealing with the lobby and playing tables at widely different levels, sets of 6 or 8 are just as easy to play as 4 continuous IMO and increase your hourly rate even more. |
