Does anybody single table?

[Doylestown]

/images/graemlins/shocked.gif seems like I may be the only one left. Whenever I load more than 2 at a time my results really suffer. Is everybody playing 4-8+ at a time? For those that play 1 or 2 have you tried 4+ and found you just couldn't do it profitably? Am I alone?

How many have you played? Pretty much everyone starts single tabling.

Right now I 4-6 table and I'd actually like to play just 1 or 2 at a higher buyin, but the risk of ruin is a lot higher that way.

Ugh, I'm sorry...me and my friends always joke about having one giant table taking up an entire monitor...wearing oakleys, and poker shirts....chin resting on hands in dead silence.

Your likely not alone, but neither are asians.

sorry..this cracks me up too much not to share...

More specifically, we picture Greg Raymer in a bathrobe, in front of his computer. The lights are out, and the only thing giving off any light is his computer computer...It's got one table, thats taking up the whole screen. Before each pot he enters he puts on his signature sunglasses and rests his head on his fist. Occasionally his wife will ask him a question, which will either be ignored, or responded quickly with a "SHUT UP IM PLAYING POKER!" After each pot he wins (including walks) he stands up and raises his arms in triumph yelling "YEAA", ala' 2004 WSOP ME victory.

Just picture that...lol

Hey Micro - I've played close to a thousand STT's over the past 2+ years. I found the same problem with MTT's, I load up too many and my game suffers, dropping me from a profitable player to a donator /images/graemlins/frown.gif.

how high are you?

That's a lot of single tabling. If that's what works for you, then maybe you should stick to it.

Or, maybe there's something about your poker game that, if improved, could lead you to successful multitabling.

Hard to say without knowing you.

Actually doily, i do my fair share of single tabling. I mean, most of my hours are spent quadding, during primetime...that what pays the bills. But often if im awake and bored in the mornings/early afternoons, i like to just boot up a single table and get *really* into it. Observing everyone, on every hand...really thinking about how and when i put my money in, etc. And i usually go for something a little different than 10person NL (the soup of the day)...ill hit a 3 table sng, or a PLomaha or something.

There is zero doubt in my mind that i play better poker this way, its just too bloody inefficient at making $cash money$.

Single tabling has got to be the way to go if you arent playing (solely) for the money and just want to play A+ poker.

Oh, and yeah, i *DO* bomb the screen rez to like 1280x960...its wicked realistic, cough. Helps to smoke doob just before too...get soooo into it.

8 tabling has made me a much better player I feel, don't get bored and play the "right way" if there is a right way.

I was just about to make a similar comment...my play quality drops if I only play 1-3 tables.

Ditto, I play too many hands out of boredom with not enough tables.

[zambonidrivr]

I 1-table HU tournies :-)

[wiggs73]

I still single-table every now and then. I play between 1 and 8 tables depending on how I'm feeling and what buy-in I'm playing. Just depends.

And like someone else said, I'm pretty sure everyone starts out single tabling. I remember when I tried 2 tabling for the first time and felt like it was way too much. Now I tend to open up Firefox and mess around unless I'm playing more than 4 tables. It comes with time...

At the moment I 1-4 table the $55's. I had an 8% ROI after 1000 $22's and $33's. So naturally I moved up. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

I really try to improve now, and pay attention. Another reason why I play one table is because when I play early in the weekends, there are like 15000 people at party, in stead of the ~60000 now.
