A very badly played hand

[PokerWoody]

Well I don't really have any accurate figures on playing one or two tables because I so rarely do it so I can't tell you my win rate at four tables compared with my win rate at one.

My overall win rate is 7 (<-- used to be 9, eek!) Big Bets per 100 hands (Big Bet = 2 * Big Blind). On average I reckon I get through about 70 hands per hour per table playing 6 handed. I play anywhere from 6k-12k hands a month. For me there really is no thing as an average week, I've only played about 100 hands in the last 7 days and 2.5k hands so far this month!

Ok, this doesn't answer your questions yet, but can I ask one question to get started? - Why do you multitable? Do you see the lower stake games as more easy pickings? If not, why don't you play higher stakes games?

I play between 2-4 low limit tables at a time. The simple reason is variance. I am playing with a small bankroll. If I sit down at a higher limit table then I am risking much more of my bankroll. One bad beat would be costly. If I sit on several tables at lower limits then there is little risk involved, I just wait for the good hands to pop up. IF I take a few bad beats its not a problem.

To be honest I pay little attention to what the other players are doing. I find playing low limit holdem online I can just wait for good hands and play them strong.
