    I just recently started playing up to ten tables at a time, i used to play only 3 or so.... My question is I guess how many sets do u guys try and put in per day? If ur running bad for a day will u fight through it and try and complete ur daily goal, say maybe u wanted to play like seven sets a day or something like that. Im planning on starting to grind a ton of these sit and gos and wanted to have a solid game plan to stick with. Any responses from u guys would be appreciated. GL at the tables-

    If you're running bad, just quit for the day. It's not going to change that day. I have never had a day where I fluctuate between running bad and good. OK, correction, I've had days where I go from good to bad but never ever bad to good. Perhaps it's because my play gets adversely affected if I start out bad. It just sucks that when you play great, there's still a chance that you won't turn a decent profit, but if you're playing bad, you have zero chance.

    I play sets. I usually start up and keep registering untill im deep or at about 15 final tables in the 18man turbos then play down till i only have 3 or 4 left then start re-registering again till im deep in another 15 or more. It lets me concentrate more late in those and i think for me personally it helps my roi. mucho respect to those that can keep 15 to 30 going at once while 3handed or less in 4 plus games.

    If im running bad i usually just keep playing. If you have tilt issues or are constantly checking the cashier i would suggest taking a 15-30 minute break and starting again.

    I 24-table continuous (obv brag, although I have considered cutting down a bit becase I've been running bad for two months. ). When I fire up, I set an auto-register program to go for 3:15, and wind down for the last ~45 minutes, which usually gets me 120-125 games.

    My volume goal for the summer is to put up 3k games/month, so 100/day. With two other part time jobs and also trying to balance a social life and staying in shape, it isn't the easiest thing.

    The only time I ever cut a session short when I'm running bad is when I can tell it's really getting me off my game (mis-clicking everywhere, donking/spewing chips etc.)

    PM me if you want any more info about logistics or whatever, glgl.
