20 tabling is horrible.
only dabbled once, still have bad dreams.
It may have to be a means to an end come Day 119, but hopefully there'll be no need.

I can't even imagine what that is like. Doesn't your brain fry?
I would need a beer ( several) if I tried 20 tabling

Hey Tank,
Just a question regerding your profit, do you draw out a set weekly/monthly wage and leave any excess in to boost ya bakroll or do you just take ALL profit made that week/month?

Totally, 20-tabling is more like a session of 'bat the rat' or 'bash the gopher'
Poker is not a game of reflexes.

Jim.
On Tuesdays I wear blue pants. On Wednesdays I wear blue pants too, but not the same pair.
Also, I ain't padding the roll at the moment, I just withdraw any profit on a monthly basis.

To play 20 tables easily you need a huge, massive, extra large touch-screen that can fit 20 tables in (an 1 msn window for Poppet
) so that you can just click the buttons by pressing them on the screen, would be fun to watch too!

At home games he wears socks with holes in them, although this maybe not confined to home games come to think of it

Fans of holeless feet woolery will be glad to hear that I have invested some of my winnings in toenail clippers and new socks.
Locking up your daughters will now no longer be necessary.

Tank, as you withdraw all you of your profit from the task that you are currently on what bankroll are you using for these STTs?

80 buy-ins I like to keep in the account. More than is necessary normally but that's the way it should be.
Higher bankrolls are necessary if you rely on poker as a source of income and if you multi-table.
If I have a 20/30 buy-in downswing and I am just working from a normal roll of 40/50 buy-ins, things start to loook depressing and it's good to avoid that.

Days 65 and 66 -
I'm again beset with monitor problems! ARRRGGHHH, Clair is being testy.
Whilst in the middle of playing 6 tournaments, four on Clair and two on her little sister, Clair suddenly went all black! I paniced, turning her off and on, randomly clicking about and pressing buttons trying to restore visual contact with my precious tournaments.
I grabbed the laptop and fired her up, tried to log into Pokerstars but it wouldn't let me, I was still logged in on the friggin' desktop.
Couldn't switch the desktop off (the screen was black!) so I turned the whole damn thing off at the wall.
By the time things were up and running on the laptop, I had been knocked out of two tournaments and was not looking healthy in the others. Pokerstars give you plenty time to reconnect if there's a problem. However, as far as their software was concerned, there was no problem. The internet connection was still tip-top, just the minor fact that I couldn't see the screen. Still being logged in, my hand would be folded after timing out and then it would sit me out. When sitting out while still logged in, your hands are folded immediately. Not blaming Pokerstars, the problem was on my end.
Some consolation was that in one of the tournaments, I'd finished 2nd. There were 5 left when the screen went black. They must have all eliminated each other squabbling over the absentee's blinds.
It happened again the next day, but I was ready. First thing I did was jank the usb modem out of the back of the computer thus breaking the connection to the internet. This way I didn't miss out on any more than one hand per table while I got thing running on the conviently located laptop. If you lose connection at a critical stage of a tournament, their software gives you 120 seconds to make it back on the first hand and 60 seconds to make it back on the 2nd. Plenty time. I should have pulled the connection the first time aswell, but I was paniced and ill-prepared for such a contingency.
I managed to cash in 5 of those 6 so it's not all bad news.
Haven't played since, I need to sort out this problem big styl-e. On the phone with the Dell-boys just now.
Days 65 and 66 Results :
-$387
(+$9,797.5 total)
ROI : 9.7% (after 1510 tournaments played)
Plenty to sort today then, monitor shennanigans, single figure ROI and a measely 4 figured grand total.
Also, only playing 82 tournaments in two days when I should have done 120! A couple of 90 tournament days will be needed twice this week to catch up. I might forego Cincinnatis on Thursday to make up the ground. This is all assuming I actually manage to fix the monitor problem.
I'll get it done one way or another.
Still,
is certainly my over-riding emotion at the moment.

Excellent news. You can come anytime...
one of my very favourite things socks. I have often said if I was to have serious wealth one thing I would treat myself to would be a brand new pair of socks every day....sometimes even twice a day...
