Now I am not one for playing two tables at once. It's probably OK if you have two monitors, and can keep the games on separate monitors, but I don't. My monitor is a little piece of cheeze. It's impossible to play your absolute best in two games at once anyway. You might as well just play double the stakes in one game. It also slooooooooooooooooooooooows down the games big time, because many people do this, but can't seem to do it in a reasonably fast manner. I wish none of the sites would let you play in more than one game at once.
Nevertheless... There's a good story from today I thought I'd share.
Today I'm playing on paradise. I'm waiting for a tournament to start. I'm seated, but waiting for it to fill. Meanwhile, I'm playing in a ring game. The tournament starts, but I'm involved in a hand in the ring game. It's only two hands till my blind, so I figure I'll play the last two, then quit. It flashes me to the tournament and I fold the first hand. Then I'm playing my UTG hand on the ring game screen. Someone bets on the flop and I go to call.
Except that it switches to the tournament screen so fast that I don't notice. As a coincidence, I was seated in the same seat on both tables.
Next thing you know, I can't figure out where the hell I got a pair of jacks, because I had AQs in the ring game. However, I have not only called a big (110) raise on the tournament table, but now the flop has occurred, and I have checked top set on a ragged rainbow board. The guy on my left (I was the SB) has already bet 200 and there was a caller. The button had gone all-in and it was up to me. So naturally, I called. I win a $2400 pot on my second hand, completely by accident, knocking the button out (with his measly little pair of aces). I don't even know how I checked, it must have been because I checked in the ring game and it flashed to the tournament (and back) so quickly and I didn't notice.
I should remark that I have accidentally called bets that I did NOT want to call playing in two games at once. That's why I don't do it anymore.
And I should also say that if you are one of those people who plays two at once, HURRY THE HELL UP, DON'T SLOW UP MY GAME. /forums/images/icons/grin.gif
