Hi Ant,

Good luck with the Diary, looking forward to this.

A £1,000 nightly spend on MTT's?  Good grief - to many of us, that's just jaw-dropping stuff.

How many do you play at once? Is there an optimal number? At what stage do you become much less effective? Is 5 or 10 Tabling really enjoyable?

Sorry for all the questions. I've been around a while, & am not naive to the game as a whole, but all of those things are a bit of a mystery to me &, I suspect, many others.

PS - Keep that run going, too, live the dream.

I play around 12 on average and can play up to 16. I tile them across two screens aswell, stacking is just ridiculous. I start to play worse on more than 12 tables and i find 12 tables to be the most exciting and where oddly enough i feel i play best.

Playing any less sometimes i overplay hands but its not enough for me to not have a feel of each table. The £1K outlay is a new thing just to let you know. I am not rolled for it but i can afford three bad nights before i will have to step down on the higher limits. So i am just going to enjoy the shot taking.

Playing only a small session tonight registering mainly from 7pm - 9pm but 22 tourns. I may have to unreg from the lesser ones if its getting too crowded. I am looking forward to it but i am annoyed i haven't prepared properly as i haven't gone through the "ritual"

Good luck ant. I think blonde will be good for you.

Also, please tell us why you weren't able to play football yesterday. 'Did your back in' the text said, does that mean you opened the door too fast to the dominoes guy?

Win it all bud

I played football in the morning and made a pretty tremendous save which needed of me to fully extend myself in a compromising position by which i fell to the floor like a ton of bricks. Resulted in oppo players in stunned silence and myself too buzzing to actually forsee the pain which i would feel later on in that day. I should be ok for next week! Great to hear you had a good game in goal btw. Update on me is that i am thinking about playing at the empire or old vic tonight for a bit of a cash game. At the same time i will be at a book revising. If the combo of live cash and revision works and is enjoyable then i will be doing it every night i need to revise! Could be a revolutionary idea but i will probably turn into the guy that takes too long to post hs blind or constantly needs reminding that it is his turn!

i am out on my own. i couldn't handle being backed. Maybe for live events but i would rather go alone.

Ongame, microgaming, ipoker, IPN mainly and i have been playing for 3 and a half years. Seriously for about a year though.

Hello,

Not really been a big user of Blonde because my laziness held me back so much so that reading anything online was just too much to do. However on the advice of my friend Cos i thought i would give it a bash and thought the best way was to sort of introduce myself to the community with a log of what is going on for me on a nightly basis on a typical mtt grind for myself, where i can document the highs and the lows and the WTF!s of playing MTT's exclusively.

At the moment i play seriously on the euro sites and have an average outlay of about £1000 per night across about 20-30 tournaments and i play mainly $30f-$200f and $20r-$50r, but on the euros the high end tourns are relatively scarce so my bankroll doesn't get shot up every night! ideal grind is registering from 6pm-12am.

Last month i did the picture attached which i believe is a $9k plus month which was great. I had won a $30K GTD for $6.7k aswell which remains my highest ever online score Smiley

Hoping to use this thread just to let you in on whats going on with me and hopefully get to know everyone else a little better.

I have no real idea what my goals are. I did a pisstake one at the beginning of the year to say $100K for the year, but now i have feint hopes of that actually happeneing and if it did that would be stupendous.

I am going to spend the month of feb revising and doing assessments for my last year of uni but playing live a lot more and entering tourns from £200-£500 and may well be at the UKIPT Notts.

So yeh i am sorry about boring you thus far, but thought this would be the best way for me to say hello to you peeps. I sort of already know Amatay and as already mentioned Cos and that is as far as i know the peeps on here i am afraid!

i sent my pair back, they didn't fit my head properly and were tinny in sound, but each to their own!

I have one 24' screen and think that having 9 on that is fine, the tables are big enough, but i have only a laptop screen left and its 15.4 inches so playing 4 on there is feasible. I think i am going to be hasty and buy a desktop computer that can have a total of three monitors, have 3 24' ones and see what playing 9 tables on each is like. If i don't like it one of the monitors gets returned. I would say its as simple as that myself. Stacking is just evil and unrealistic and those who say they can do it are lying soooooooo

Hi

I was just wondering how you set out your 24 odd tables when you played? I can only seem to manage tiling up to 16 and then its a bit of trouble. Cascading seems way too tough.
