Hi,
I will like to share views on playing two tables 7cs on-line. I have been playing 2/4 up to 6/12 at PP for about a year, for the last month I have earned 2-3 BB pr. hour. I am considering playing two tables, but up to now my limited experience in this field do not suggest this to be a good idea. I see the following problems:
1. (and most importantly) it is very difficult to remember upcards and sometimes you simply miss the upcards folded before your turn.'
2. on-line poker is very fast and this fact gives even more advantage to players allowed to think longer time than their opponents (you can compare this to a game of blitz chess, where good players have time handicap).
3. you have less time to evaluate your play and accordingly to improve your performance.
4. it takes longer time to learn about your opponents playing habits.
5. speed and the tilt factor is positive correlated
6. (and less likely) you risk to click the wrong bottuns.
Sometimes I wonder, if I have specialised in the wrong on-line game, because the first factor does not exist in HE and Omaha.
However, many of the best rated stud-players (according to this forum) on PP play two tables. I presume they (RiverGuy, mr. sharx, bigstu etc.)dont play for just fun, and find that their hourly rate increases when playing two tables.
All comments appreciated.
