Still searching for ideal setup.
I played 2 hours 12 -13 tables tiled on 1 screen. I may be missing on action, font is too small (my hud is 4 lines x 4-5 stats in each) so I might switch to 6 tables per monitor or a bit more. Will also try in next days stacked so by the end of the June hope to have all the technical things worked out.
Traffic is there so are regs on 15s there is less on 7s but I was playing a lot of 15s yesterday and will keep playing them. So far swings on and off enjoying the volume lets go!

I suggest you to really think about ur HUD a bit and trim it down. Did you notice the difference between your HUD and mine? :P

GL on PS!

Imo u really have a bit more stats thn u can use, but I might be wrong...I personally have also kinda large HUD, but not as much as u do.
Hold on tiled for few more days, get to know regs and tendencies, thn easy switch to stack and increase tabling, this works for me great. Even tho I bought 30" monitor, I do play stacked (up to 3 stacks depends on formats) if I can because your eyes and your neck gets a bit more tired when u tile, especially on two monitors.

Thank you Milan!
Great advice.
I am about to play 2nd session for today will try playing tiled on 2 monitors. Eventually I could go for stacked with ninja which I will also try in a week or less after I test couple other options.
Will let you know how it goes!

I used to play tiled too. Something like 15-20 tables in 9m turbos. I switch in stacked. In the beginning it is a bit difficult because you miss some spots here and there or you want to see actions all time etc etc etc

After you are used to stack you will never go back in tiled...quaranteed. I tried to play tiled again just for fun but yeah you tired faster than tiled and it doesnt worth

Tried stacked but like you said I got feeling I am missing spots. Also since I don't use ninja tables automatically close so its hard registering over and over. Played 3rd session stacked than tilled.
What I will try to do today is play 9-10 tiled see if I am getting owned or setups :)
Now reviewing 4/4 spots for open shoves, calls and raise calls. Will play 1st session later today.
Btw, how do you set in table ninja for stacked tables to be in 2 or more columns?

Well I dont use TN to register or so, not even shortcuts, I use PS. But I use shortcuts for 4 predefined positions - find it in table control. And I use TN for quickly go thru different filter of lobby and for quick betsizing.

I dont use TN to register either. I use 4 positions from table control in ninja too

Milan do you like shortcuts from ps rather than ninja's?

Been seeing you at the tables a lot. I said I read your blog in chat. got no response, is that the pure focus needed to play me heads up?

Anyway sent a friend request, I have a skype group of 6 max turbo players if you are interested!

My coach Gerovit specializes in SNGs so I did it that way. You can play cash game and be profitable, any format for that matter. I think for SNGs after you hit 2-3k euro a month you enter very specific area where everybody is solid, edges and smaller and people are playing for rb overall. Might be wrong ,still have tons to learn and improve!

Dear Jarred,
I have a mental game problem. People on Stars are owning me 3-4 days in a row. What do you suggest I do , thinking of quitting this game and going on cruise ships to bang German MILFs.
Your fan,
IvicaIliev77

Hey man!
I don't read chat nor use it. Have stars hotkeys, 12 tables (today played 6 + 6 on 2 monitors) still finding my ideal setup, still adjusting to opponents.
Will accept your request and send you my skype in message.
How are you doing on stars, whats your nick, how many games a day do you play, making a living from poker or?
Talk to you soon

Quick update

Its been only couple of days but there are some important things I noticed which I will mention here.

- Still adjusting to what way to play (tile or stacked, 12 or more or less tables)
- Using stars hotkeys, made some misclicks and lost buy ins to that
- Bubble is much deeper than ongame so is hu so I am adjusting to that
- There are regs on 15s , not that many on 7s but still a lot of flipping overall
- Been playing some 30s, there are better players there but its pretty sick seeing 5 players on 6 max with blinds 50-100....
- Volume is great, 3 sessions 12 tables tiled gives me 150+ games
- Still not playing nowhere close to my A game but also running bad
- There is some sick plays like 3x folding to shove CO BTN SB with blinds 50-100 eff stacks 14-15bb...
- Finally, look forward taking a day off (6 days a week grind) to check my hand history , marked hands, take notes for all of the players (regs especially), find some leaks and exploit them in future.

Overall its been fun so far, very much look forward what Stars will make out of me - will either burn out or go for top !
