I don't feel pressed with time using stats and determining V ranges at every street, etc. so not concerned with how many tables I play with at the moment. I've had sessions in the past where i've splurged, table # wise, and it was clearly too much. Thus why I don't play that amount of tables anymore. And do what to myself? lol play a ton of poker while having fun and learning a ton? Money is not an issue and don't mind losing (especially at nickel and dime stakes) as long as i'm consistently learning and ironing out leaks.

How many tables are you playing atm ? I agree with Poker Monster that you are probably playing way too many to get that kind of volume and you should consider it a leak.

I'd listen to the people advising you to play less, they're giving you good advice...

If you're playing more than 4 tables then I'd suggest it's too much. You won't learn if your attention isn't near max. I suspect you'd say it is but the evidence suggests otherwise.

Best thing you could do (imo) would be to play 4 or less tables if learning how to become a better playing is your goal. Don't get lost in the mega table trap... I've seen it so many times and it doesn't work unless you know what you're doing in most spots in an automated way, which can take a LOT of hands spread over a long time (i.e 4 tabling or less). Even playing 1 table for a few months would be better for you imo.

You might think you're doing fine, and you're not overwhelmed, but you'll be leaking in lots of spots where you're simply not noticing. It's happened to me in the past and it took me longer than it should've to realise and fix it.

Looks like you post a lot, and review hands etc which is great and posting a losing graph show you're very honest about the situation, but you need to be smart about how you go about improving, talking about hands and reading strategy etc won't make much difference if you're not thinking during live play. If you think about it, you're potentially playing more tables than players who are possibly better than you... that's only going to end badly.

I hope you take this post in the way it was intended. I'm terrible at poker but I'd be a lot worse if I played too many tables.

Mass multi tabling was the correct thing to do back in like 04-09 or whatever because all you had to do was play ABC poker to be +EV, so you would simply just be trying to maximize your profit.

These days if you want to maximize profit, you need to be better than the other regulars and table select to play on the best 4 tables you can at any given moment. There is no way you can make more money by mass tabling than I can analyzing every hand and making sure i'm on the best 4 tables at all times., and moving up in stakes, expanding my bankroll, etc.

I'm considering maybe adding on like two more tables, but i don't think i'll ever go over 6 tables. I find myself using time bank in sometimes simple scenarios thinking about "what if" situations. I think it's better to be a deep thinker than to play in an automated robotic way. Here is something to maybe inspire you to play less tables:

"A team of U.S. scientists discovered what is the key of genius. For several years they have been studying brain structure of people with high intelligence and came to interesting conclusions.

It was discovered that truly ingenious ideas come to those people who think slowly.

At the moment of thinking brain areas, responsible for visual perception and sensory information, are highly concentrated with NAA molecules. These molecules are responsible for originality of thought and creative solutions.
The molecular motion of NAA in people with high IQ is slower than in those with lower intelligence.

Scientists have described the process of generating breakthrough ideas. Due to some structural features of their brain, highly intelligent people think more slowly than others, but almost always find a unique solution to a particular problem.

Incidentally, a scientific genius Albert Einstein was famous for slow thinking. He used to think for hours on any issue, and the results you know…"

Had a pretty good month at the tables looking back. Would have been a +$1200 month with rakeback.

HOWEVER, the end of month doomswitch, running ~$800 below EV was enough to make my degenerate self spin away my whole roll at the roulette wheel. In literally like 10-15 spins. Around $3200 at the time.

I think I'm done with poker. I'm not mentally cut out for it. I don't have the discipline and no matter how well I grind and play solid. That tilt monkey degenerate is still within me. I have problems man

Some sick graphs itt. Maybe I'll send mine later when I get a decent amount of hands. I started from the bottom couple of weeks back (NL2) after ~4 year cool off period so it takes some time to fine tune my skills

Edit. I was a solid winner at NL25 and NL50 but I have no idea how tough the game is know at that level.

25NL is not NL25. 25NL is 12.50/25 blinds I guess.

No, NLXY and XYNL is the same thing. If you thining 12.50/25$ blinds that should be 2.5kNL (if even such thing existed). I dont know why would someone post high stakes graf in micro states thread.

split between 2NL and 5NL, wish my redline looks better, I think mostly from BB losings. :O
Anyone got anything good to read for defending blinds/playing from BBs? My SB is kind of solid thought, I think I just calls too much from BB

I find spots where I just have to fold to cbets when they just always cbet with air and kind of don't know what to do. Also all of my positions are winning cept BB which has like a huge losses, like 2.5X my button BB/100, looking for suggestion to fix it.
I have -40BB/100 lose for BB but +2BB for SB, am i just calling way to much from BB?

from SB and BB around 12% I think and overall about 6%, that's over last month, getting more aggressive from blinds with good/marginal hands for maxmium pressure too now.
