How many hands you FR cash grinders play? - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

I'm nowhere near your level, but I'm thinking of drastically increasing my play to full time grinder levels so how many hands is that? I typically play 25NL rush on FTP and play about 1000 hands a day, obv nowhere near full time grinder level, so how many hands do you professional grinders play? After 50k hands I have a 3bb/100 win rate, which isn't too bad but I think it can be a lot better. I'm hoping by increasing volume I can build a cushion so I can move up a level fairly soon.

It depends on how much $ you want to make/lose. Personally, I'm lucky if I play 40k a month but I'm lazy.

Well i'm unemployed right now and searching hard for a new job, but in the mean time, I know 25 NL isn't a high enough level to grind a good wage out of, but I just wanna build up a br enough so I can move up to 50+ NL.

There's some people who've been known to play up to 8 tables (at once).

6. Do you recommend playing multiple tables at Party Poker?

Party Poker will let you play up to three tables at a time. If you play at Empire Poker also, then you can theoretically play up to 6 tables at once; which some players supposedly are able to do.Update: Party Poker now lets you play at up to 8 tables at a time, which covers the need of most players who need to multi-table. There are many stories of professionals playing up to 16 tables of a time, but I don't recommend this of course to anyone that isn't trying to mimic Tom Cruise in Minority Report..I usually play two tables at once if I am only playing poker, or 1 table if I am playing poker and doing something else at the same time. I don't recommend players starting out to play at multiple tables unless your game is solid at that limit. If you are a losing player or have leaks in your game, playing multiple tables will not only make your game worse, it will double the amount of money you are winning.

Lol. ;-)

OP, most of us play 8-24 tables at a time. One guy will occasionally play 40 tables at once (Stars + FT). I try to play 100-150K every month. But try get a good win rate (3+ptbb)before adding more tables.

i play between 100k and 200k per month depending on how I feel + if I want to cut down to focus on improving then I will play less hands.

Id say just put another rush table on, increase it slowly then next week maybe add another , I used to 4/5 table rush until I moved back to stars, afterall rush is rigged
