Hey,

I like to play 3-5 tables. 3 if I'm not playing my 'A' game, and 5 if I think I'm playing great.

As for the syndicate thing... I think it's a fine line and if you start doing that sort of thing, even when you're not doing anything illegal, you'll gradually start incorporating the more 'shady' tactics into your 'team' in order to maximize team winnings...

Cheers,

Gutzz
