(comfortably) 16 tabling!

So I finally buckled down and got some intensive volume in this week. Yesterday beat my total games in one day and got in 71!

I've been going with a 2 session a day routine, trying to get started by 8:30/9 and finish the day by 5-6. I'm taking a mind-break for an hour or so in the middle, but I can't believe it but I actually am starting to feel really in control while playing all 16 tables. Even when there are a few final tables or a HU match mixed in. A few months ago all I was doing was 4-6 tabling 6max games, didn't even dream I'd be gaming like this. Back then I knew that people mass-multitabled, but I just didn't get how they managed it. Now I have a good sense of how to direct my attention to the important tables and difficult decisions and it's starting to click!

I think a few things I started doing are helping a bit: I'm playing super nitty when I'm in the blinds reducing the hands I play out of position, I'm calling raises a lot less with speculative hands - though I still am defending the button when it calls for it, and I'm playing a lot more fit'or'fold postflop (especially in early position).

I tried going for a semi-tiled setup for when I reach final tables, but I finally concluded that it gets too hard for my ADD brain - so I'm sticking with a simple 1 stack setup for all tables. When I was putting a final table to the side I found my attention getting divided and not only that but using tableninja became more risky because you never know which side of the screen the urgent table is going to be!

Ok, gotta gig this friday night, will update more soon Peace!
