First of all I made the switch to Hold'em Manager. I watched a Deucescracked video on it and was sold. The greater flexibility on reviewing my play makes it a much better choice for me. And besides that, it runs much faster doesn't take 40 hours to perform maintenance on a database. (It takes like 15 minutes)
So then I reviewed some hands from a 50NL session in February. I had my mouth open seeing how I played a bunch of hands. It was like the twilight zone on how bad I was less than 6 months ago and I wonder how the hell did I not go bust. I was a super mega nitfish to say the least. I would post a hand or two but they are way too embarassing.
On another note, I have been experimenting on different setups. I have been a stacker for some time so its rather awkward to try new setups. I have been playing a few 2NL sessions with "stack and tile." Its a nice program but really slows down play for megatabling. I really can't see much benefit to it and there is way too much clicking and eye movement required. What I really want is the ability to watch the action on the laptop and still play a lot of tables.
I guess as long as I play on a 17" laptop I will be stuck stacking. The most I can reasonable tile is 6 tables and they are so tiny it hurts my eyes to try and read the HUD. The thing is, if I am playing less tables and really concentrating on exploiting people, I prefer to tile. I am guessing 12 tables would be a good sweet spot for me if I had a PC with a 24"ish monitor. I am not sure I am willing to cash out the $1,500 or so necessary to get a good PC.. I have a lot of thinking to do on the subject.
My main concern is on becoming an FPP pro and burning out. I want to improve and move up and not just get stuck at 100NL or whatever as a mega tabling nit who hates going to "work." On the other hand, I really want Supernova and then the 200k VPP bonus after that before the year end. It would be tough to get there without mega tabling.
I guess I have a lot of thinking to do on the matter.
