Do you find 1st 3 levels incredible boring, even if quad tabling?

50+5

fold, fold, fold, oh look AK but darn didnt catch any of the flop thus fold, fold fold fold

i have a 2nd monitor that i surf during the 1st lvls.

but you can only surf so much.

i've tried to up it to 6 tabling, and lost my shirt (-$1000).

so what do u do to occupy your time during the 1st 3 levels?

Maybe if you are playing in sets you should try playing continuously.

4 tabling SNGs non-boredom guidebook:

Start 2 SNGs.
Download porn.
Run to kitchen to get paper towels (or get sock out of dirty laundry).
(depending on several factors, between 30 seconds and 15 minutes should have elapsed).
If close to 15 minutes have elapsed, start 2 more SNGs - this way youll start hitting the later (more important) levels on the first two while you're folding away on the newer two.

Rinse, repeat.

Yeah I like doing that too. Helps prevent being locked into four heads up ITM battles at once, too.

SNG's in general are the most exciting poker to me. I've mostly played low limit full-ring hold'em, and that unbelievably slow and dull compared to SNG's. So count yourself lucky; to me at least, every other kind of poker is much more boring. The only thing that comes close to the fun of SNG playing to me is 6-max or 5-max games.

Rinsing is a key part of this strategy if you don't want to get your mouse sticky.

not at all. this is when i am profiling the competition. early table play helps me peg and trap in later rounds.

People get on my case for implying about the needed privacy for running to the bathroom in between hands.
