I thought I would answer some viewer mail.  I'll try to do this somewhat regularly, so if you have questions, let me know:

Q: What stakes are you playing nowadays?
A: Lately my average BI is probably like $300 (since NL 400+ games are somewhat scarce - especially for full ring on Merge).  I haven't been putting in much volume lately because my interest rate newsletter business has been surprisingly busy (later post), and with the holidays, birthdays and my researching my book, I've been a little busy.

Q: How is your play split between FR and 6max?
A: I probably play 60% 6max and 40% full ring... mostly because there are more 6max games going.  Sadly, FR is a dying game midstakes and above (NL400+), so small stakes FR regs should probably start getting more comfortable with 6max.  I think the small stakes full ring game could be around for a while, since a lot of the live noobs will be more familiar with the full table, but I just don't think you can move up and grow as a player playing just full ring NLHE.

Q: Do you play across multiple sites? If so, and if you don't mind saying, which ones?
A: Yes.  In the US, I think Merge is the only site worth playing if you are a mass multitabler.  The software is reasonably good (I actually prefer it to Stars, after a few minor fixes), and if you don't mind mixing up 6 max and FR, you can generally find enough NL200+ tables to play like 12 hours a day.  At least one skin allows for large cashouts (still takes a few weeks tho), so that is less of a barrier.  I don't like Cake since the HUD is limited to that session only, which makes it more difficult for a multitabler (especially since I don't take a lot of notes).  But I know a guy who just had a 5 figure month on there, so if you like playing a more read-less poker, that might be worth a shot.  Bodog is just retarded - I can't play just 4 tables (or whatever it is), and I heard some/all their tables went anonymous, and I thought they were supposed to be spun off or something this year.  AND virtually nonexistant VIP benefits.  Sorry - you don't deserve my business.

I play on one non-US site (top 5).  Can't really comment on it tho, for obvious reasons.  And it wouldn't surprise me if I didn't have some DOJ fanboys of the blog.  Hi DOJ spies!  I love you guys - especially if you'll process my FT refund before the end of the year.  Okay?  Thanks.  Bye.  Since many of the VIP rewards programs reward "exponentially" for higher volume, I don't think it makes sense for a mass multitabler like me to spread my play across multiple ROW sites.  I'm still having technical problems getting my hands/hr similar to what I'm getting on Merge tho.  I haven't had much time to work on it tho.  Multisiting makes more sense if you prefer to bumhunt higher stakes or don't put in a lot of volume.  I think the quality of the games at major non-US sites are about the same (except for Stars), and about the same as Merge.  I'll share my opinions of various sites next week when I do my quarterly PokerScout analysis of online poker volume trends.

If you have any questions you would like me to answer in a future post, let me know.  I know I owe one reader some answers to some trading questions, so I'll try and address them in a trading update post soon.
