I've been enjoying Torchwood, which my work colleague opposite me enchantingly confused with Deadwood.
So last night, while watching it, I tried an experiment of three-tabling some six-max $25 buy-in on the laptop. The big difference was that I stacked the tables rather than tiled them.
Once you move into 10-tabling or more, "stacking" is the only way to go. Result was a couple of misclicks in an hour, neither of them fatal. More difficult to cope with is that you have no idea on how your big decisions turn out until you next return to the table and look at your stack size. I had one hand with A5s where I misclicked a limp rather than a raise. I think, BB raised (he was laggy at 35/30) and I called. The flop ambled down 855 and I got it all-in on the flop. Then the other tables appeared and I had no idea what happened. Next time I saw the table my auto-reload had kicked in. The hand history showed that I had lost to 88855.
Only later, when I looked at my graph on Hold Em Manager, did I see that my EV for the session was positive. I sought out this hand and found that opponent had got it all-in with A8, hitting an 8 on the river.
Now, the emotional impact after the end of the session was little more than one of "phew, at least I got the money in good". In other words, stacking reduces tiltability. This is good. On the bad side, it's much harder to know how much you are up or down (or is this another plus?)
