Default How the hell do people 8 table! (low content)

I just ran my first two sets of 8 tables after 6 tabling for a whille...does this get easier or am I doomed to want to kill myself with all the action going on. 8 is way more harder then I expected it to be after having a breeze with 6. I still ran pretty well but all the action is insaine and I now have so much more respect for people that consitantly do it. Hopefully it gets a bit easier. Anyone that does more then 8 is just amazning and I would so sleep with you [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

You get used to it, and then it will seem like an old hat. I just started myself, and it's already easier after 150 or so tourneys this past weekend and a few more in the previous week. Hardest part is starting the damn things, and if you're on the bubble at 6 or more simultaneously.

Do you not remember when you first started to 4/6 table? Did the same questions run through your head? Did it not get easier and easier with practice?

I do it at a buy-in well below my normal bankroll-dictated level.

8-tabling is the shizzle!!!

I just did one set this weekend at the $6s. I have a small laptop monitor so the tables had to be tiled one on top of the other. I ended the set at -$18.00 (is this sustainable? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]), but it was fun as hell. w000t!!!

But I think I'll stick to 4-tabling for now.

Do you have a 2 monitor set up, or do you have to deal with overlap?

It definitely gets easier, but I don't think I would ever be happy with any ovelap. I have gone from feeling intense time pressure to getting kind of bored unless I have 5+ tables in the advanced stages (where things can get a little hectic). Also, I have taken to playing complete sets, only refilling if I bust out early, or when I am down ot 1 or 2 tables at the end (if I don't want to take a leak or get a drink or just gth away from the computer for a minute or two).

Brag post:

I just did my first serious 8-tabling this past weekend, as I mentioned above. Previous to this I was playing the $33s, but I stepped down to the $22s to learn how to do 8 at a time. I am going by memory here since I'm at work, but anyway, started 8-tabling, and 150 or so SNGs later:

ROI: -0.01%
Profit: approx. -$10
Rakeback: $84

So my magic formula?

1) Buy 2nd 2001fp
2) .... ????
3) Profit!

Now to step back up to the $33s, where I can make some real money.
