Tell you when I get there. The 22s -55s on party aren't all that much different, maybe a few less donks, but definitely beatable. Watch a few 215s. Good players are pushbotting to perfection, and there still are fish and donks there, just relative BRs. Pushbotting, imo, is optimal SNG strategy, regardless of buy in.

M < 10 as a general rule for a lot of people right?

M = (your stack)/(BB + SB + antes)

I think I drop it to 7 or so personally. But that varies, as I still have plenty of built-in erraticness to my game.

(or is this some big secret that shouldn't be getting out to the masses?)

Re: How to Multi Table
 

I don't use M. Stack <= 10 BB's. Unless I'm a monster tooling the bubble.

Early levels are full of dead money, so why not build a stack off it if you can be bothered.

When I adopt this mindset, I end up becoming the donk, doing stuff like http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showth...e=9#Post4102419

I think there is a happy medium. IE. Playing low-medium pp's for cheap (obviously for set value), and hands like AQs. Generally, I like tight in the beginning, and pushbot late.

Re: How to Multi Table
 

that i can agree with, it was more the way you worded it about "survival" that just sounded a little to weak to me. But i like this last post.

I'm wondering if there are any tricks to multi-tabling. I usually play 2 or maybe 3 PP 10+1s at a time. During most hands I've got a decent amount of dead time when I read 2+2, watch TV, mess with PokerAce, etc. However, every now and again when I pick up a couple of decent hands at one time, I can be a bit pushed to get all of my raising/calling/checking/calculating pot odds done. I feel like I might be able to handle 4 at once, but any more than that and I think that I'd be completely lost as to what to do when I get AK, QQ, 88 at once. This is especially true of hands that require a bit more attention to play such as SCs, medium PPs, AJ-A9, and so on.

Is there some sort of strategy that doesn't require as much thought or that directs actions more exactly. In other words, are there some tricks or strategies to playing 6-12 or more tables at once?

Thanks,
Will

If your calculating pot odds it usually means your drawing to something. We pushbotters don't like to draw, its either "I got the best of it, Im pushing" or "I suck, Im folding". This eliminates alot of the thinking part of the game, makes decision-making much quicker, and leads to the ability to play 6-12 tables at once.

You (for the most part) shouldn't be playing s/c's and AJ-A9 unless it's late and the play is allin.

Re: How to Multi Table
 

Spend time away from the table thinking about how to play in common situations. Then, you can focus on the less common situations when you play. As you play more, fewer and fewer situations will seem unfamiliar...this should help you gradually increase the number of tables you can successfully play at once.
Also...turn off the TV. Close the web browser. Wait until the end of the day to mess with SNGPT or whatever. In short...pay attention!

If you find that you can't keep up unless you stop playing some of the more marginally profitable hands...don't stop playing those hands. Rather, reduce the number of tables until you don't run out of time playing every single hand that should be profitable. Here I'm talking about hands like AJs in EP, A9s in the hijack, 76s on the button, KQo in EMP, etc...

Re: How to Multi Table
 

So if the optimal strategy is to play tight in the beginning levels and then to pushbot, then what range of hands to you recommened playing the first levels?
