Re: Playing 18 tables at once? Yes, why not

hmmmm

I wish you all the best in doing this Chris, but I have my doubts as to whether you'll be able for it (no reflection on you - I think it is a mega-challenge for anyone to do it).

The (potential) problem with your analysis is as follows:

An average (relative to the standard of other players at that buy-in level), loses an amount equal to the rake taken. The more tables you play, the more your level drops, so you'd want to be A LOT better than the average for a single table, to still be better than average on that many tables.

Even if you are, you're still losing money. Rakeback is simply a percentage of the rake you pay (i.e. the amount you lose for being average).
IF you can be sufficiently better than average to break even accross that many tables, then you're on to a good thing - but hardly amazing. $10K per month is ok, but it ain't a kings ransom. Plenty of people out there earn that from their day jobs, and they get holidays, pensions etc. Plus the security of regular income.

Good luck with it anyhow - hope you succeed.

PS. I'd agree with muse re the monitor. A really good monitor that'll do 1900 x1200 can be bought for £300 or so. No problem to hook up 2 or more of those babies to your PC, and you'll cut down your losses from misclicks etc.
