I will be hitting better opportunities until the time and/or conditions are ripe to get in and out while getting a lot of rounds in and get lots of advantage bets when it happens.
Seriously Three the above quote is a contradiction to what you wrote in post #6. Specifically, how does one play at two hundred hands an hour while simultaneously avoid playing the highest ratio of disadvantage bet hands to advantage bet hands?
In post #6 you wrote:
"Personally I find I make more money playing fewer hours a day. It is about rounds played not hours played. You can't find a 200 round per hour game when you are playing a crowded 50 or 60 round per hour game. The former gets rounds in 3 to 4 times faster. In other words you can sit and play 15 hours a day at a crowded table or you can get in more rounds selectively playing 4 or 5 hours per day that you carefully choose to play. I usually make the most in a day when I only play 5 hours or less. When I play more I often lose and miss the best playing opportunities. I started tracking why this was and it was about rounds played."
Still, in post #6 you wrote:
"If you start heads up play you want to play as fast as the dealer can deal to get in as many rounds as you can before you have to share the cards."
Putting some light humor into this I suppose you could use 14 teammates all on different tables as spotters while you are wearing rollerblades on your feet while being the only big player. Now back to reality with all the new players that join this site you cannot be writing incomplete information like the following:
"When you set yourself up to have the highest ratio of disadvantage bet hands to advantage bet hands you are just setting yourself up to both waste time and lose money."
Any new player who has purchased Don's BJ Attack 3 book and is looking at the play all charts in chapter ten is going to be wondering whom to believe. Not realizing that two or three wongers might enter the table every time the count gets good. Although, the intruded person always remembers the guy wearing rollerblades.
