Any thoughts on playing more than 1 table at a time online?
 

I see some players, even at high limits, playing 2 tables at a time in Omaha/8. Some seem to do real well, but others seem to just tread water. The articles I've read discourage it. Is there anyone who has been successful at it, and if so, what helped you be successful doing more than 1 table. I tried it a couple times, but it seemed too distracting with the screens popping up back and forth constantly from one to the other. Are there any online sites that will allow you to play more than 2 tables? I think one poster on here said he played 3 before.

i think screens poppin back n forth could be your problem. I usually 2-table O/8... but I set the resolution high enough so I can see both full tables (or see all 4 for HE), I'd up ur res and see how it goes, popping around makes it much more confusing, for me at least

I just cleared the Empire reload bonus by 4-tabling
O/8. The game becomes more mechanical, fewer expert
plays, but the $/HR goes up.

I think it's true. I am doing low-limit omaha right now and my win rate is great..

(especially in comparison to hold'em :vomit:)

I have found that playing 2 tables of O/8 is no problem after a little practice. I think I do better at 2 tables than 1 at low limits. At 1 table, I spend most of my time folding and waiting for the next hand. Playing 2 tables, I am less likely to talk myself into playing a marginal hand after folding 8 hands in a row. I sometimes play 3 when clearing bonuses, but that's about my limit for now. But it all gets easier with practice. O/8 is easier than HE for multi-tabling, because the games are slower and the decisions are more clean-cut.

I agree with this, I three table on a lap-top with overlap. I have an easier time 3-tabling O8 than holdem, as the action is slower.

I also three table on a laptop.

I find that:

1) The action's slower than hold 'em
2) The decisions are a lot easier than hold 'em
3) I'm folding so much, I'm still spending most of my time sitting and waiting for the next hand

Re: Any thoughts on playing more than 1 table at a time online?
 

Having a bigger monitor where you can see the tables without overlapping makes a big difference.

I find my results are better playing 2 tables than 1 because I’ll get bored and start playing bad hands.

Like anything it’s a matter of working up to it.

I can play 3 tables without too much trouble now, but 4 is a bit tricky for me. But I used to find 2 tables difficult.

I agree with the others RE: screen size. Ideally, if multi-tabling you'll be at 1600x1200 resolution on at least a 17" monitor (preferably larger). There are a few laptops out there that will support this resolution.

I am normally a hold em' player, but I multi-table omaha 8 for bonuses and find its not too bad. To get accustomed, I would suggest starting out with the lower limits.

PS - Check the Internet forum for general tips on multi-tabling.

I wish fish would multi table. One can only dream.

I find it much easier to multitable hilo than holdem, u are usually drawing to the nuts only so decisions are simple. I usually have 6-7 tables going, mostly PL and have been doing this for about a year.

Well, at the microlimits on PS, I often find distinctly fishy players multitabling. And making the same bad mistakes at all tables at once.

"I spend most of my time folding and waiting for the next hand. Playing 2 tables, I am less likely to talk myself into playing a marginal hand after folding 8 hands in a row"

That was my biggest reason for playing 2 tables in .50/1 but after you realize that the winner(s) of the higher limits almost always turn over some sort of a2xx or a3xx or 23xx or monster high hand, you discipline yourself fast.

I play one table because I like to see which players at my table are playing total garbage so I can get a nice fish count. I go through the hand histories and stuff and look for people playing J672 or some other garbage while i'm playing so I dont think I'd be able to do 2 tables.

I'm constantly playing 4 tables of PLO8 at the same time. Anything less sees me far too bored.

Re: Any thoughts on playing more than 1 table at a time online?
 

ribbo, haven't seen you around the party tables alot lately. Bin playing elsewhere?

sue

Re: Any thoughts on playing more than 1 table at a time online?
 

I know you like the stars tables but where else do you like to play?

I play some of the crypto's but that's about it. I haven't found any of the other sites as good as party for PLO8.

Re: Any thoughts on playing more than 1 table at a time online?
 

Same here. 4-tables minimum, usually + a NLHE @ UB or 2.

Say ribbo, you been playing that Stars $2000 buy-in game?
