Cashless Graininess: For don...two good tables

[Cashless Graininess]

hi don~

when me and my wife we're playing last weekend we spotted two hot tables at the same time. is it better for us both to set at the same one or should one of us go to each one?

thanks in advance

It depends on what you're calling a bankroll and whether camouflage matters or not.

For example, if you both play at the same table, and you raise and lower your bets in unison, it might look very bad. Also, your two bets are correlated at the table (same dealer upcard for each hand), so the manner in which you bet will be different when playing together, than if you were playing at separate tables (for the same bankroll, you can bet more playing separately). For example, if, at each table, the mathematically correct bet for one hand were, say, $200, if you played together, you'd each bet $150, but if you played separately, you'd each bet $200.

For those reasons, all else being equal, I'd play separately.
