"Wherever we look upon this earth, the opportunities take shape within the problems."-Nelson D. Rockefeller
As I stated in my last blog two huge outcomes were to come. The first has come and past with disappointment. I still await the second.
At work I am still! waiting for word on whether I will be accepted into a new position or laid off. The length of time it has taken for this decision is mind boggling. I am really questioning whether this company is worth working for at all. The compensation is quite good considering but the games being played are really saddening.
On the poker front I continue to try new ways of increasing my take per hour. I have been experimenting with a new way to multi-table. My normal way of organizing tables has been to tile as many as I can across my monitor in a tiled floor type pattern. This way I could see and scan all tables at once. That was the pros, but the cons were that the number of tables was limited to the amount of space available and the screen resolution, ie how small I could make the tables which would mean how many I could fit on the screen without overlap. Having read some message board posts from some 24 table multi-tablers I have decided to try stacking my tables on top of each other. The con is I cannot scan ahead and pre-fold hands. I also cannot see the outcome of hands played (not necessarily a bad thing). The pros are the number of tables is only limited by my ability to make decisions and make the play without timing out and I no longer have to move the cursor around the screen which allows for faster plays. If I add in hot keys which make certain plays for me without having to input bet amounts etc than I should be able to reach 24 tables at some point. So far I have experimented with up to 17 tables with some success. I do find that being tired makes it quite difficult but that is really no different than when I was tiling 9 tables. I have already noticed the jump in fpps per hour and as the table number goes up I'm sure the change will be dramatic! As for missing some table action I have come to realize the only action I am missing is that of hands where I have already folded. If I am still in a hand, when the table pops up the previous action is right there for me to see anyways and I am less distracted by what else is going on at other tables where I have folded etc. It so far has helped with tilt problems caused by seeing outcomes of hands where someone has hit a rediculous 1 outer or something. Off to music class.....
