Trying Multitabling SNG's - Page 2

here's the deal, I would very much advocate staggering until your bubble play becomes automatic... this is the hardest (only hard?) part of the low sng game. Regardless of what you think, unless you have played x,000 sngs, no your bubble play is not automatic.

Not talkin smack, but that's the lesson I learned.

i think starting them at the same time is easier overall. once you get to 4 tables at once, you might want to consider staggering some because as anyone who has done it can attest playing more than 3 bubbles at once is very taxing.

WOW!!!

I tried 3 5.5 tables on Poker Stars. I started them all at the same time. No big deal until... I made the bubble on all 3. Finished 2nd in 2 and 4th in the other. I made one serious error which was probably caused by being on 3 bubbles at once, on the 4th place finish which probably cost me the cash.

All in all a very interesting experience. I presume as I continue to multitable, my mind will catch-up, so that as professional ball players say the game slows down. I sure hope so.

Thanks for all your help.

I realize 3 tourneys does not mean anything significant. Yet with some additional play I should be able to adapt.

The opposing view (which suits me personally) is that it's quite difficult to switch your mindset between everyone being level on the bubble at 100-200, and then back to the other game where you are 8-handed at 25-50.

I personally like all games to be at the same stage.

I agree. I hate when I have to look to see the blind levels because they're all different. I like them all to be at the same level (or close to). However it can be a bit of a challenge being 3 handed and heads-up on 3-4 tables... It's all preference.

Depends (Skipper buys them).

If my goal is to profit, I'll play only 2 tables because I'm not very good.

If my goal is to be a better player, I'll play a NL, Omaha H/L and a 7 Stud at the same time for the multi-tasking practice.

Sounds like you are on the right track. Do what makes you comfortable, then step out of your comfort zone as soon as possible. Lather, rinse, repeat. You are on your way.

Good luck! SlackerStillSlacking
