Finding the time

#1 11th August 2008, 1:31 AM

I have been playing for a little while now, so far I've been doing ok, but I just can't find the time to play as many hands as I would like. How do you guys get the thousands of hands played so quickly?

sometimes playing with a small box in the corner of work, other times playing freeroll after freeroll, and in general, not having the social life I would like
of course, when its time to go out and have a good time, that should take precedence, unless you're one of the players here making steady income.
As one that is not, i just squeeze in the hands when i have time, and with a laptop, usually while watching tv or some other non thought provoking activity.

i think multi tables are the easiest way to lose money. Just stick to a small buy in table and see the flop as often as you can. Eventually you will hit a big hand and take down a big pot.

Most everything I have read has kinda said the opposite to what you are saying pimpin, Don't most beginners usually start out fairly tight, trying to see fewer, rather that more flops?

How can you keep track of whats going on with multiple tables, do you basically just play your cards or rely on poker tracker for your info

I can't tell if this is a serious post or not. Multitabling is the fastest way to lose money but also to gain money. The advice to see the flop as often as you can is not good for beginners.

Beginners should definitely stick to one table at the beginning, though. It's important to make sure you are plugging the holes in your play first; once you are confident in your play you can start challenging yourself with more tables. Don't worry about getting in the thousands of hands fast.

This is like the worst possible advice...
