• Playing multiple tables

  
  

  I've been playing 3 or 4 tables of 2/4 or 3/6 limit hold em for the last couple days so I thought I'd write a little bit about it.

• Cash is King II - Bankroll Management

  
  

  I am not sure I am the best poker player on my block, must less the planet (though feldliss lives on my block, so I have reason to be apprehensive).
