12 tables

[ericintexas]

Sup guys i have a serious question about playing multi tables.. Lets say you were to play 12 tables of 25 cent 50 cent limit poker and its the 10 seater tables on poker stars.
if you played 4 hours a day what would be a average win or good win in a 5 day week?

Well, you'd be playing roughly 3,000 hands a day, 15k a week. I had a lot of friends that grinded low limit games like this, and they would say averaging +2 big bets per table per hour was a good average. This is in their long term low limit career, so obviously you could run hot or cold and feel like your average isn't where it's supposed to be. Let's say you had a constant average of +2 big bets/hour/table, you'd make 12 bucks/hour playing these limits while 12-tabling.

This, however, is if you're playing standard tight/aggressive and coming into the pot with premiums. So, work on your discipline and you'll be making more than a crappy starting job haha.

I would recommend 16-tabling or whatever the max is at PokerStars. It's easier to stay disciplined with your starting hands since you won't have to wait so long to get premiums, and you won't have enough time to play 8 of the tables with marginal hands without timing out on them all. Hopefully this helps. Good luck.

get a big monitor!

playing any more than a couple of tables with them overlapping is annoying at best but more likely to just distract you or miss things and make more mistakes or timeout on tables.

if this is you strategy to make more profit as your winning when playing on 1 or a couple of tables look at your return carefully as you move up adding more tables.

as you p;lay more tables your return per table will drop as you will be concentrating less per table. so there will come a point where more tables may actually hurt your return in $/hr overall.

not saying it won't improve your return but 12-16 tables is a lot to keep track of in ring games and time will run faster than you think
i can only manage 9 at a push if i'm fresh normally play 4-6 tables but i only play 6max games so obviously action comes round sooner

good luck, let us know how it works out
