I've got this one guy on my "Find a player" list on stars whom I've seen playing 18 SnGs at one time and as many as 15 NL tables.

Any do this? How can one do this and expect to maintain any sort of +EV?

sng's can be very robotic and good players can auto-pilot them. full ring cash games can be similar if you only play premium hands. you are pretty much just looking for as many monsters per hour as possible.

You can't play more than 12 cash games on Stars at one time...

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

I play around 30 or so SNG's/MTT's at once. At one point I played 20+ SNG's and 12 cash tables but that gets very confusing for me so I now just play one or the other. In SNG's, the decisions are very robotic.

What is it like to sit at a live table when you are used to infinity tabling?

sucks real bad, you want to play hands you shouldn't because the pace is extremely slow and you sit there all bored as hell.
Never bet on a white man in the heavyweight division!

I realised last Friday night I can't play very well live any more without staring at the pot/stacks like a dork trying to work out how big they are.

lol. I try to keep a track of it in my head as the hand goes on so i dont have to count it when its my turn.

I only usually 4 table online but I love live poker. Im happy to sit there and play my 5 hands an hour while I talk to everyone at the table and drink my beer
gabe: Ive dropped almost 100k in the past 35 days.

After a while of playing live, you can just glance at a stack and have a correct count to within a few chips. It just takes some time.
Check out my self-deprecation here!

i went and played live for a bit a couple months ago. i sat and sat and sat...finally after what felt like a week i saw J7s, and had to force myself to fold it to a raise. lol.

i came back to online later that day and thought, "dear God, this is where all the cards were hiding today."
LHE is a game where your skill keeps you breakeven until you hit your rush of random BS.

Nothing beats flopping quads while dropping a duece!

This is so true.

I love it when my brother watches me for a FEW minutes 12 table and he'll be like "WOAH!! you've have KK four times!" (yesterday actually)
