Good read. 

Where did you get the bankroll figures in relation to the size of the buy-in from?  I think they make sense, but just wondered where they'd come from.

Cheers man,

Just did a bit of googeling, and searched 2+2 a little...

n1. thought ur buyin amounts were pretty much spoton. also liked the way you mentioned multitabling reduces variance but also reduces skill advantage. i recently capped myself at 5 tables preferably 4 and results are soooo much better in terms of hourly rate and consistency. nhwpdao.

yeah, well written, I liked that

2 small points

1) "For me, I can play 2 heads up tables at once, 4 cash game tables at once, and 6 STT tables at once"

I would change the word 'and' to 'or' as it could read like you're playing all of these at once

2) and this is a personal dislike, waaaay too much use of oxford commas. completely unnecessary unless you're writing for an american audience and even then a bit odd

Just shows, you're never too old to learn. I had to Google 'Oxford Comma'... and I live [near] there!  Cheesy

Cheers man, I noticed the or/and thing yesterday and changed that puppy

Yeah your probs right, something I picked up at Uni, but it's been so long since I wrote anything properly that I'm not sure I'm even using them right Smiley

Thanks for the pointers Smiley
