I am in the process of making the move from 1/2 to 2/4 on Party right now. Playing 1/2, I would 4-table without any difficulties, and was doing fine for myself. My screen resolution is 1280x1024, so I do have a decent amount of overlap for my 4 tables.
I started out with 2 2/4 tables, and that was going fine. I find I really like the 2/4 game. After about 1K hands of playing 2 tables, I added a third. I played with 3 for another 1K hands, and again was chugging along nicely. So I added the 4th table. Not 10 mins after I added it, everything started to go downhill FAST. I lost all my winnings over the next 1K hands, and felt very discouraged.
I had a very similar problem last time I took a shot at 2/4, with a large discrepancy between 3 and 4 tables. I lost a lot of money last time and was forced to step back down to 1/2. This time, I decided I was just going to go back down to 2 tables and keep at it. Things immediately picked up. I added the third table again, and things are going great (in fact amazing, as after dipping into the red numbers after 2.5K hands, I am now at 7.09 BB/100 after 4K). I've been getting great hands, and been sitting at great tables.
What I'm trying to figure out is that if running that 4th table just makes things way too hectic, and I lose all my concentration. I know my sample size is very small, but it just seemed like night and day between 3 and 4 tables. Has anyone else had similar experiences? Is this just variance, and I can probably go back up to 4 tables?
