Santa was a little late this christmas, but today my presents arrived. First off I got a Samsung 204B 20" screen to complement my Dell 2007. Now I can (try to) 8-table 6-max without overlap. Second, I got a new cell phone, the LG KE820. This thing is so cool, it's soooooo small, thin and light.

Speaking of new toys, I've decided to build a new computer. I'm a silence freak so it won't be the most powerful one out there. If anyone wants to help me in the search for parts, I have a thread over at silentpcreview.com..

Now to the poker talk. I played two 1.5-hour sessions of 8-tabling 400NL on FTP today, basically breaking even at -0.09ptBB/100 for 2500 hands. The two extra tables did add alot of stress, especially when I was trying to change out a table or two. I think I was a bit overwhelmed, and it was difficult to keep track of opponents as well as my own image on all the tables. I did not get good reads at all. So I basically just took standard-ish lines, and made some moves every now and then. Also I made too many loose calls of reraises preflop, this is a leak that will need to be fixed asap.

Hopefully this will change as I get used to more tables, if not then I don't have a problem with going back to 6 tables. I also think that I will need to start using PAHUD again if I want to keep playing 8. This time around I won't be using as many stats as before, I think I'm gonna go with the basic PFR/VPIP/AF and perhaps WTSD.

I'm now 4.27ptBB/100 over 8500 hands. Hopefully I'll get in another 15k hands this week for a more meaningful sample.
