been quiet for a few days, failing on the volume. ive just been thinking about how i can put in this volume, and finally accepted that theres no way i can play 250g/d by 2-3 tabling, that's 10-12hrs a day and i aint got what it takes to do that daily. the ONLY way for this to happen is if i jack up the number of tables.
im thinking 5-tabling. i just tried it right now and played 51 games in an hour. probably i can average 40-45 games per hour in the long run. i resized the tables to the minimum, and also found a layout that minimized eye movement (its easier to move eyeballs up and down vs side to side i find), and i found 5-tabling was actually very doable. still very hectic, but at least wasnt timing out every few hands. probably playing my C+ to B- game overall. but thats the price to pay for volume. i might even try 6-tabling eventually, but lets settle on 5-tabling for now.
my current layout:
another interesting thing i noticed when 5-tabling is that i find that im so busy that i dont have time to get react or get upset over results. my mind is way too busy figuring out 4 other spots to worry about how i just got coolered again on a table. when i was 2 tabling i put way too much attention on results after like 5-10 games, and that caused me to quit my sessions early. but now with 5-tabling i just go go go go gogo, sometimes i dont even remember whether i won or lost on a table. and if some suck out happened i forget about it 5 seconds later.
playing this many tables may not be so great if you're trying to practice spots and improve your game, but for me at least right now, being able to put in volume (while maintaining an acceptable win rate) is the biggest challenge. so lets assume 43 games per hour 5-tabling. i can play 250 games per day in just under 6 hours, far far far more doable than previously when 2-3 tabling which required 10-12hrs.
goal for tomorrow = 150 games which im confident will be achieved with the new 5-tabling strategy.
