    Okay, I have just made a list of tourneys i want to play that my bankroll can allow. I only play on my pokerstars account right now because of my current cashflow. below this paragraph will be the list of tourneys. I am posting to get any type of feedback on maybe a better schedule or pointers in multi-tabling 8 at once or anything that could be helpful. Thank you in advance.

    Start Time: 10PM 10:15PM 11PM 11:15PM 12AM 12:15AM 1AM 2AM
    Buy In: $16.50 $3.30* $2.20 $11** $2.20 $5.50 $3.30 $2.20

    Total amount of Buy Ins: $46.20
    Estimated Time Playing: 10PM-8AM (10 Hrs)

    *Shootout
    **6-Max

    Your better off firing up a bunch of 4.40's then playing that schedule IMO.. Not enough volume there.. 7 tourneys over a span of 4 hours starting time is nothing.

    well that is an idea i have tried to emplement before. It works okay, but the payout is what i want. I figure throwing in some higher buy ins will at least give me chance to make a big score so i can move up in stakes.

    Edit: ^^its 8 tourneys btw

    Making the final 3 of 10-15 4.40s in one 8-hour session can be considered a big score. I know its rare but so is hitting a big score at a bigger MTT. Dont grind large volume MTTs, they pwn souls.

    To go along with AFink's idea, why don't you play this schedule, but if you bust early in any of those tourneys fire up a 4.40 to replace it. This way you keep plenty of tables open and give yourself more chance at getting at least a decent score.
