    Right now im grinding turbo SNGs...i usually play 9 at a time...if i bust out of one i wont start up another until im done with the set of 9...ive been making money playing the SNGs so am i losing out on money by not opening a new table as soon as i bust out of one??

    Thanks

    No, you're not necessarily losing money by playing in "sets", instead of continuously. It's all about $/hour, but often your ROI AND $/hour will be significantly higher playing LESS tables per hour, since your focus and endgame will be much stronger (very important). However, lots of players make more playing continuously, since they simply get in a lot more games. You need to find the "friction point", or where your ROI starts to drop off as you add more tables. Play a 1,000 game block in pure set form, and another 1,000 game set adding more tables as you bust out (continuous), to get an idea of which approach works best for you. For me personally, I feel my endgame and bubble play especially are sharp when doing sets of 12-17 tables, instead of always running 'x' amount.

    In summary, it truly depends on the player. Hope that helps!

    As mentioned above I play in sets. I typically play 16-20 tables so its hard for me to keep that many going with some heads up or 3 or 4 handed. If you can keep 9 going no matter what stage of the sng it is in then give that a shot.
