playing 8+ tables at once!

donkeyplop

was just wondering how people on here can play so many tables at the same time??

and why? is it to get poker points or just to fry there brains?

i find playing 2 tables at the same time hard!!

you must need a super brain to play so many tables at once!! sadly i dont so i will stick to one at a time.

DOHHHHHHH

i cud do 3....4 at a push, somethings stopping me tho, cuz I cnt even load 3 on sky without it crashing!!!!

I agree tho how anyone can play 8 plus is beyond me, especially 6 handed

Its to try and even out veriance in tournements, i play 4 to stop bordem so you dont play to many hands when playin cash. Also your win rate per hour is increased the more table you play.

you play better the more tables you play.

winrate goes up.

if there are plenty of fish about plentry of £$£$

its easy to play 6+ if you have big enough monitors, and a high spec machine.  once you get into the it, it is very easy.

but yeah when i wanna fry my brain i just use the microwave

just takes practice. After a while a lot of decisions dont take much thinking time so playing two tables is too slow and i lose focus, then 3 becomes too slow etc etc. I dont think it takes too much skill though

i dint think men could multitask though ;-)

surely it makes it harder to read other people when playing so many tables? unless you play your opponents alot??

Its more about making +EV plays that why its a dcrease in veriance. You can stear clear of marginals knowing that theres another hand coming or even cooking on th other tables.

Haha, Nonsense. Okay winrate may go up, but you don't play better. You play worse. You develop a robotic style of poker and you can't develop reads. However I agree it still works. But if you want to be a better player in the long run, no more than 4 tables.

It all depends what system u have. I used to just use a lappy and 4 tables would stress me out, with not having a mouse and the system ended up running super slow!!

It can help concentration levels and can stop you from developing fancy play syndrome and keep you focused playin multitables.

If you do want to multitable successfully then make sure your system is up 2 it so u dont end up on life tilt after 5mins!!

Hey just do what I do... play 8 tables.... get AA, KK & QQ about 12 times and lose every time.... just watch your bankroll wash completely down the drain whilst you cry uncontrollably!

Just out of curiosity, do you guys have a much more tighter bankroll strategy when playing 8 tables or more or is it the "standard" 20 buy ins you still use?

tbh, i think the same about ppl who play 1 table.  I dont know how you can do it.  I get so bored that I would probably be lose long term if I did this.  I will try loadsa fancy stuff just to numb the boredom.  Multitabling keeps me disciplined

All you do is fold in this game, whack up more tables and fold at a greater rate!
