After this session, the duo have already played another 800 or so hands in which durrrr won just under $1,000. In total 10,180 hands have now been played and Patrik leads by $79,277.

In an audio interview dated March 25th Patrik expressed his dissatisfaction with the slow pace of the Challenge, saying that durrrr is usually the one who doesn't want to play and who always seems to be the one who quits the sessions. Hopefully the pace has now picked up so we will actually see an end to this thing sometime in the future.

At the time of the interview Patrik was trailing durrrr by $70k but stated that he was satisfied with his game so far. He was also a bit surprised that durrrr hadn't been pushing his edge in multitabling and put more pressure on him.

Patrik also gives some tips on multitabling. For low limit players, he doesn't recommend more than two tables at a time because it's hard to develop your game when you have multiple tables running. When you get a little bit better and want to start grinding a bankroll, 4 tables is a good number. At the high stakes level, durrrr is the only one who can play up to 8 tables simultaneously but Patrik thinks that even durrrr's game suffers when he takes on too many tables at once.
