Re: multitabling six-max question
 

I 3 or 4 table 3/6. In the last couple of weeks I've decided that I really don't enjoy it at all. It's purely for income at this point.

get the monitor regardless...
 

even if you only 2 table, you will be glad you have the screen real estate. i typically 2 or 3 table on a 1200x1600 monitor, which allows me to keep the lobby windows open so i can keep an eye on potentially lucrative tables. this alone will pay for your new monitor in a matter of a few weeks. also, getting a good quality unit that's easy on the eyes will allow you to enjoy the game more with less fatigue. the Samsung 204T i picked up a few months ago is a top notch perform at a relatively low price point.

Re: multitabling six-max question
 

I have never played 1 table, and only played 2 tables my ever first week of playing. I lose interest and get bored so quickly. I play better doing 3+ tables because I always have something to do. I have never found it hectic or confusing at all. Maybe this is because of a slight case od ADD and years of chaotic videogames?

As to enjoynig playing, I havent since I first began. But I never find it boring or mechanical. I still feel like a complete beginner after over 100k hands total and 60k at 6 max. I still learn every session, even playing 4-6 tables. I think about every hand unless i am really tired or involved in lots of pots. I still get nervous and sweat while playing.

More tables=more action=more gamboooooooooooooooooooool!!!!11!!1!!1=more fun

8-tablign sucks and I hate it but it makes me more money. I go down and terrorize 3/6 sometimes and play some stud or omaha to break it up

Re: multitabling six-max question
 

I 3 - 6 table 6 max on stars and I've got to say that I dont find it that enjoyable. It seems to be solely about the money. I do play nl and trnys every now and again to prevent me from getting too burned out. That helps alot.

This is actually somewhat depressing. A decent percentage of those who have replied apparently don't enjoy poker when multitabling.

To be fair, you should have asked them if they would enjoy it more, less, or the same when single-tabling. When I hate poker, I hate it regardless of the number of tables.

Just buy a pretty new monitor and tell yourself its for playing Civ 4, but it happens to have 1600x1200 as well.

Maybe you'll take sollace in that fact that I'm the type of person that gets very bored easily.

Re: multitabling six-max question
 

I finally did break down and bought a new setup a few days ago, just waiting to get a [censored] deal so i can actually play on party again.

Yeah, it was dumb of me to be a multitabling pro on a 15" laptop for 8 months, but i have been cheap my whole life, and its hard to break the habit.

Besides, maybe now my winrate will skyrocket [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
