Irish,

Fantastic post! It certainly enhances a lot of the advice that I've been given already and leaves me with more choices to make about which direction to go in, although right now, it's looking like I'll be staying with ring for a while.

The one issue I have is with multi-tabling. I tried it once for a few hands and it takes a lot of concentration, arguably too much at the level I am playing at right now. I'll give it a try at $10NL and see what happens though.

Many thanks for the advice,

James
