~ Only don't make another job out of it. Just have fun playing.

$5-$10 buy-ins are about my level too, and although you can still see those all-inners in such tournaments too, you can simply ignore them, because there's only a few of them, one at a table or even less. You can't be ignoring them if there's half of the players like that.

Surely so, i tried to make poker my way of income several years ago. I spent 10-12 hours every day playing 4 tournaments one time. It was awful for me. So no more job in poker

Yes, it is easy to ignore several, always there are someone who ready to catch them.

This is interesting. Playing at so many tables at once has never worked for me. I mean, not never. At first I thought it was the best way to play poker, but it didn't take long before I realized that it wasn't worth it.

What about you? You said it was awful because it was hard, but how about profitability? Was it negative, or just too small?

The main idea was that i was waiting for nice cards. When i got strong cards, i fold all other tables.

Yeah, but it's never free, following this strategy, I mean. You have to buy four tickets first, before you can play at four tables, right?

Profit grew up fast, but for 3-4 first hours, after that i began to make mistakes. And everything was nice - no one diverted me, no calls, big monitor - ideal conditions. I think that it was interesting experiment, and it is possible to get some profit this way, but you have to modify your game tactics.

This is like a major rule, innit? You don't change your game tactics playing with the same people, you lose.

I'm playing poker right now, while writing this post, and I want to confirm what I said earlier: it takes not that much time, like 15-20 minutes, before you know an absolutely new(to you) player pretty well, and he won't change his style, he will lose all his chips to you.
