Vomiting, Regurgitation, and Hurling: A Study of How Much A Human Can Take

My poor sister has spent the last 20 or so hours in an almost continual state of vomiting. Nice. She had to work last night (overnight) and spent most of that time in the bathroom. I can't say that I envy her at all. If she's not able to hold down anything soon, I may have to take her to the hospital to get her butt rehydrated.

On a much brighter note, I finished the Interpoker bonus yesterday, with $160 in profits ($100 worth of bonus). I took a pretty nasty turn there at the end to take away about $100 in profits, as the mules managed to gang up on a brotha and kick me in da nads with a few bad beats. Gotta roll with the punches, I guess. I'll take that kind of profit each and every month, if you please.

Now to a question I've been pondering lately. Is it better to multi-table or not? And how many tables is too many?

I think that in the long run, playing multiple tables is a good thing. You can maximize your time at the tables that way. Although it is true that you miss a few things, I think that the extra hands/hour that you see should make up for it. If you are trying to clear bonuses, it's pretty much mandatory, as some of them are really, really slow to clear anyway, and playing at a single table would make it about impossible to clear them.

As far as the limit of the number of tables that you can play goes, that's an individual preference. But there is a limit for everybody, and the tough thing is trying to figure where that is. Since I have dual monitors, I can easily play 4 tables, and still see my hole cards at all times, and most of the time I can see all 4 of the boards. As of right now, 4 tables is my maximum, mainly because I like being able to see everything at a glance. I think that I could manage 6-7, but it would get a bit stressful after a while, methinks. I normally only play 2 tables, just because I like to enjoy the playing part of it. Clearing this month's Interpoker bonus, I did play 3 tables about 50% of the time, if I could find that many good tables to sit down at.

I do think that multi-tabling is a good thing, and most people will manage to maximize their profits if they do it.

That's all for now. I can't wait for Opening Day for the MLB season. Go Rangers and Astros!

Keep on keepin' on.

P.S. The Rocket is supposed to talk to the Rangers today. Interesting.
