Default multitabling is for suckers

I play only 1 or maybe 2 tables of 6max $5/10 or $10/20nl and I claim that it is possible, by doing this, to not only maintain a similar (or even greater) winrate as a multitabler but do it with, 1. much lower variance, 2. less tilt tendancy, and 3. much more concentration, and that therefore it is infinitely better than multitabling. Let the YSSCKY begin.

your ideas are off

multi has a much higher winrate/hr, while single table might have a higher winrate/100.

multi has lower bankroll variance.

I came to this conclusion several months ago, though I don't think I played enough hands to truly justify it. Good luck trying to only play 1 or 2 tables for more than half an hour with full concentration. It gets really boring really quickly.

per day, of course, cause you play a lot more hands

I average 3000 hands/day 8 tabling. my record is 5000 hands.

Not everyone has ADD, AZK.

Multi'ing has lower variance and has less of a tilt factor. I dont like multi'ing in short handed games, but as far as NL goes, I've never multi'd there but I would assumer it would be easier because the games are slower than NL. For a winning player, the more hands you play the more money you will make, period. I think that some of the guys here get carried away and try to play seven games at once, and I have noticed that I lack some concentration when I try to play 400 hands/ hour.

Lately I've been playing 1 game of 15/30, one game of $600 NL, and one game of $200 PLO8B. I like that just fine.

You kind of contradict yourself by saying that you sometimes play two tables, blah blah blah, you should be more specfic and say something like "playing five tables at once, IMO, is hap-hazard to my play and probably to yours too"

I don't then understand how you are able to play live without wanting to commit suicide.
