Compare
I had two sessions today... one on PokerStars and one on UB. For some reason or another, I really felt like trying out playing 8 tables again since I haven't done it in nearly a month. I feel like I'm a lot better player now than a month ago, and I wanted to see if that made it any easier for me to play a lot of tables. So I played 8 tables for one of my sessions today and played 4 tables at once for the other session.
Well, compare the below two sessions and see if you can guess which session I 8 tabled and which session I 4 tabled.
This is the UB session:
This is the PS session:
Well, if you guessed that the UB session was the 4 tabling one, you were right!
This is PRECISELY why playing 4 tables is optimum... you can see the difference as clear as day in my stats, winrate, and you can't see that I had a TON more fun playing on UB today!
I'm not going to even experiment with it again; there's no need to as I've proven to myself once again that I can win more with less tables. When playing 8 tables, it's just too difficult to be raising enough hands and keeping track of my image. I can't start any "battles" like I did vs some players on UB.
Overall, I had a great day winning about $2.5k in total over about 4,000 hands.
My image paid off nicely a few times on UB.
This guy appearantly just got frustrated and snapped... and shipped in 88 on a TXX board vs me when I had rockets. He was a bit fishy so it didn't suprise me too much, but I wasn't too happy when the last T came out as I thought for sure he had TX.

One of my students was asking me about how to play AK pre-flop today and we had a short 15 minute discussion. We came to the conclusion that you just have to be playing in a manner that makes it impossible to even consider folding it pre-flop. I had been 3-betting this reg all session and he had 4-bet me at least 2 or 3 times and folded to my 5-bet shove once. Here, I had TT but obviously I can have AK just as easily... which puts me way ahead of his AhQh. I ended up winning about $900 off this one reg for the day.

That's it for now. Hopefully I can crush tomorrow as well.
