Wow man, sick poker bio. Read the whole thing and really enjoyed it.

Good luck with SNE next year, I thought about going for it, decided against, though there still is a small chance..reading this is pretty motivating (though I think I still lack the experience). Anyway I'll see you around the tables

As for your setup, give 'Table Ninja' a demo if you haven't already. It's a hot key program designed exclusively for PokerStars and can automate some things (i.e. clicking waiting for blind, choosing buy in amount etc) and speed shit up.

Also make sure you have a good chair, comfortable mouse, keyboard, etc. (I'm sure you are aware of this). Also, perhaps look into the n52te if you haven't tried it out, which goes nicely with Table Ninja for hot keys.

That's all I got for multitabling advice, I'm sure there are people who know better that can point you in the right direction.

Best of luck.
