I wonder if the panthers will actually live up to expectations 1x. Awfully tired having them being tipped as a real possibility to reach the superbowl every year yet somehow finding a way (playing Jake Delhomme) to screw up

i was wondering, should i just spazz out and start hating like y'all are, but i guess i'll keep it gangsta


the panthers have a legit running game now, so i can def see them contending in the playoffs

sadly jake delhomme is way past his prime


they used to have the sickest D-line jeez

Think twice before you add more tables. If you don't have to think about any decisions you make (or, more correctly put, if thinking about them for a few more seconds doesn't make them better) then it's fine to add more tables. But I'm starting to lean towards massive multitabling being -EV for many players. At the very least myself. Since April 1st and my pro-poker experiment started, I played 10 tables virtually every session, for a total win-rate of 3bb/100, which is respectable but not monstrously good. And reviewing some of my decisions I think I could have beaten it for at least twice that if I hadn't been so busy clicking. The most sizeable "mistakes" take place postflop when meta-game situations/noticing certain stats or notes in time could have allowed to size my bets differently or take different lines but it shines through preflop too. I end up folding too much in spots where I could have gone for a 3-bet bluff or a squeeze bluff because I see "trash" and check the fold box. I sometimes fail to notice that there's a shortstack in the hand. Etc, etc. These are clearly situations where I know better, but miss key information in the heat of the moment. I believe these kinds of mistakes easily add up to $6 every 100 hands and so I could have played 5 tables instead of 10 if that means that I get rid of those mistakes.

Playing fewer tables for a higher win-rate, besides the fact that it may be +EV overall, also has the added benefit (again, speaking for myself) that I better notice new things and learn more while playing, and of course playing with a higher win-rate drastically reduces downswings so I have less to stress about.

I think its truly a case by case basis. I personally when playing 12 tables or less have beaten 25NL, 50NL and 100NL FR for a combined 3.4bb/100 over about 80k hands. However, when I play 20+ tables (which for me I usually play the max of 24) I've beat 50NL and 100NL for a combined 4.8bb/100 for about 110k hands. The only thing I can pin point that improves my game when I increase the amount of tables I'm playing is that i'm less likely to make spewy moves. But who knows i'm pretty new to poker and wouldn't by any means consider myself accomplished, so I suppose its just my personal preference. :joyman:

Not hating too much :p

and Fo sho Switch, Memphis ex RB DeAngelo Williams is pretty much the best RB in the NFL, and that backup (Stewart?) is legit too. As long as Delhomme doesn't touch the ball other than handing it off, it should be a deep season for the Panthers
