Why are you playing so many tables at the same time?

Jesus, no wonder why you have so much variance.

pretty sure more tables means less variance (well more hands so a winner will converge to his winning stats at a quick pace)

I'd estimate my bb/hr to be highest playing a lot of tables. Volume over quality!

Not if you suck like me

My winrate is ~3ptbb/100 for 20 tables, and I very much doubt that I could come close to doubling it if I were 10 tabling. Throw in FPPs and it's a no brainer.

You could argue that i'm sacrificing future EV by not developing my game while I play though
