Lots of talk recently about how many tables we play, and how can we improve our multitabling skills. Who here pays any attention to optimising the balance between hourly rate, and creating the best conditions for improving their skill set?

After Black Friday made everything much more difficult, many players, me included, turned towards a mass grinding style in an attempt to carry on making enough money to live on. Going back to 9-5 just wasn't an option.

It's now becoming obvious that many of us have been overtaken by a new generation of grinders due to a lack of effort towards improvement. All we've done for so long is maximise hands/hr, and not a lot else.

I'm interested to hear what everybody's thoughts are with splitting up study/grind time, and also how to work out just how many hands we should aim for per hour to maximise our learning capacity. This may or may not be the same volume as maximising hourly rate, I honestly don't know anymore.

If we're learning totally new concepts, should we be cutting down the tables dramatically more than if we're just making tweeks?

There must be a lot to be said about all this, and I feel a bit out of date TBH
