Am I the only one here whose game suffers HORRIBLY when they start multi tabling ?
First hour and 190 hands into clearing the bonus at NL $25 tables I'm down $65.00 !! Partially due to 2 stupid calls, but still....
I cut down to two tables, one I'm basically being blinded out - People running stats on just that table for me pry had a VP$IP of 1%
The other table I am rocking at, I make 3 smart calls based on betting patterns and one bluff based on how the guy played prior hands as I was paying attention to the play at that one table in particular.
Is it one of those things people just have a knack for (multi-tabling) ? And do you HONESTLY get ANY kind of a read on any players let alone have time to make Solid notes when doing anything beyond 4 tables?
Notes I could see making occasionally 4 tabling, but that is it... so 4 hours into the night I end up like $150.00 but much less hands than I would of liked to play because I was only playing one table the last two hours.
I guess the main question is :
Do you feel playing one table is more worthwhile since you have a solid read on players or do you feel multi tabling using the fundamentals of the game is more +EV in the long run ?
I would say limit players ignore this, but having a read on the 2 or 3 maniacs at a table could lead to an extra 15 -30 BB's in 45 minutes on MANY occasions. Especially if u get trapped between them in a raising war...
