you get carpal tunnel from typing, not mousing. He would be more at risk for tendonitis/arthritis I would think, but you bring up a good point. Any known cases of hardcore grinders having to quit because their hands/wrists couldnt take it?

Fortunately my teenage years allow me personally to withstand any form of strain...

I think 70% of 2M might be 1.4M, not 1.2M...

And if anyone here thinks that winning a Million Dollars a year playing poker for a living, and not even having to have a real job, is in anyway a bad thing, however you do it, then they're a fool.

And, to be honest, mass multi-tabling high stakes games for that long, and at those high stakes and to 'only' lose 200K is fairly impressive while multi-tabling to that extent.

But I'm a lightweight. And I'm old.

FWIW, there have been several threads asking "Which mouse/controller is best for multi-tabling?" I've tried a few "solutions", none of which were entirely successful.

Clicking buttons is definitely some heavy-lifting.

Mentally you have to be really solid to do this. So few people can play these 12+ hour days it is a really draining, which can lead your game to deteriorate very quickly.
