poker robots

edited November 2012 in Poker Chat
 Does anyone think that poker robots are in use on this site.
I can play up to four tables at once (as that is all I can fit comfortably on my screen).
Even then I get timed out when concentrating on other tables especially when I hit a flop.
I only play low  ante tables 2p/4p and 5p/5p action tables.
However I noted one player TINTIN who plays upto 12 tables on 2p/4p and never seems to get timed out.
Any idea's on how he does this as the only other thing I can come up with is that there are 2 or three people playing on different computers at the same location
Which brings up the question can I play on more than one computer at the same time as long as I don't try to play on the same tables.

    people have big set ups for poker, 2 screens and stuff. And ALOT of practice lol.

    Tintin posts on this forum. Lots of players can manage to play 10 tables plus.

    It just takes practice and a decent playing setup.

    Hi Tosca,

    There are NO "poker bots" on this site.

    LOTS of players play 8, 10, 12, 16, even 20 or more Tables at the same time.

    I cannot mention specific individuals, but the chap you named is well known here, & he is definitely "real".

    Watch Channel 861 in the near future for a feature we are planning which shows how players Multi-Table.

    Once youve been playing for a long time you keep on adding more tables as your decision making gets quicker and quicker. When i could only play 3 tables i thought playing 8 was impossible, then when you get to 8 you think 14 is ridiculous then you get to 14 and you think, 'how was i ever timing out playing 4 tables?'.

    i can confirm i am very much real.

    yes i play upto 12 tables but there are many more players playing the same and more.

    it all comes down to practice, the more you play the quicker your decisions become allowing you time to play on the other tables you have running. offshoot has nailed it because i remember first trying to run 4 tables and i was all over the place timing outand just couldnt keep up.

    a half decent set up will help. i dont have anything great but its a desktop with a 21 inch monitor, this let me run 12 tables in mini view with only minor overlap on the screen and no lag.

    good to see the show are for doing a segment on how to multi table.

    as to your other question about playing on 2 computers at a time with one account, im sure its impossible to do altho you would have to get tikay or sky dave to confirm. im sure there would be warning signs flashing in sky towers should someone try it

    I have played against TINTIN many times - He's as real as they come.

    If you look through different levels of cash tables and sit and go's, you will see quite a lot of players multi-tabling.

    I used to play 3 or 4 DYM tables at a time, but one Saturday when I was at a loose end I decided to see how many tables I could play all at once and managed to get 14 Tables open in "Mini View" and slightly overlapped.

    Its quite easy to panic having this many tables open, but after a while certain types of hands in DYM's just become an instant fold, so, you just put a tick in the box "Check/Fold" and move on to the next table. After a while it becomes much easier. I even managed to watch the footy results too :)

    There are players on this site that play many many more tables all at once, but you seriously need a great setup with the maximum RAM (Memory) installed and possibly 2 screens to make it much easier and to stop yourself from being timed out.

    My advice: Laptops & wireless are a NO NO for multi-tabling stick to a decent desktop pc with maximum RAM.

    if thats what you want to believe then carryon.

    i better take this time to apologise for winning 1 hand yesterday when i put the money in behind. unfortunately you were the wronged opponent and my AK should NEVER have beat you KK aipf. i will aim to carry on getting the money in good and taking all the suckouts  against me without having 1 go for me from time to time.

    if only you could see my hand history and you will know your statement carries no weight

    Here's something that will make your brain explode...  There is a well known player on Sky (Who most people have met live so know he is real unfortuantly ;) ), who decided he would try and play 40 tables at once!! 

    His findings were HE could do 40 tables but the Sky software wasn't fast enough to let him... How about that huh? Faster than a computer...

    Don't aplogise for winning a hand. He should be grateful for getting his money in ahead. 

    And in any case AK SHOULD win about 30% of the time :)

  • edited November 2012
    12 tables




    24 tables



    30 tables




    Sky stops being able to cope when you start trying 30+  you get timed out from posting your BB/SB constantly.

    The 30 table shot is hilarious! What's with Mr Bean dotted in random places though? ;) Covering your hole cards so people can't see how often you whiff the flop?
