It's all about the Iron, baby...

So can we expect you to actually WIN an WSOP event next year, then?

[omahilo]

next month Im going to try to get to bronze or silver freeroll...

I dont play high enough limits to get to the big boy freerolls. I only play $25 and $50 NL.

[JDMcNugent7]

next month i might try to do this, not really for the freeroll at the end, but just to play consistantly everyday, and while getting RB.

TP, how many tables do u play at a time?

[Talking Poker]

It depends. I'd say I average 3+. I play as many as 5, but usually go for 4. A lot of times though, because of waiting lists I'm on, etc, I end up only playing 2 or 3.

And I'm totally with you - it's not so much about the freeroll (although that is a nice bonus), but about me playing consistently, day in and day out for the first time ever.

According to PT, I've played 167 hours this month. That's TABLE time though, and not REAL time. I don't think it shows me my real time played anywhere, but if we assume I average a little over 3 tables at a time (that sounds reasonable to me), that's ~50 hours of actual play this month.

I'm playing 85 hands per hour (per table).

The huge tables is the only thing that keeps me from playing FT.

When i play 3/6 on stars i always play 7 or 8, and playing 4 Stars 4 FT doesn't work because they get off synch and dont pop up at the right time which makes it akward.

As soon as Full Tilt comes out with resizable tables I will probably play there only.

[JDMcNugent7]

Well I decided to grind 3/6 for awhile. Im gonna do this for a month or so probably. This limit is officially cursed for me, I've never ran good at it. I ran probably the worst I've ever run in one session today, -4k off the bat. Fun stuff.

[Talking Poker]

Well, I'll be damned. JD and I are playing the same limits. Never thought I'd see the day.

[Talking Poker]

27% vs 0% rakeback doesn't make it worth putting up with "huge tables?" Hell, take one month's RB payment and buy yourself a better monitor... or two new monitors, for that matter and set up dual screens like I have.

That's just a really lame excuse, IMO.... think about it from a $ standpoint, and I'm sure you will agree.

[JDMcNugent7]

So u think 27% rake on 4 tables will be better than an extra 4, 3/6 tables??

[Talking Poker]

I hope so.

I'm not kidding you when I say that there are specific hands that STILL pop into my head from this year's final table.... . It's not like I think about it every single day, but I do think about it a lot more than I expected to. If I could go back in time, I would have come over the top of him all in on the turn. He'd PROBABLY call with his QQ (maybe not though), but even so, I'd have 15 outs to improve and have a monster chip lead at the final table if I got there.

That was my shot...
