Counting pot odds while mult-tabling
 

I'm curious how you guys count pot odds while playing on more than one table. When you're playing more than one table, you can't sit around and count each bet as it goes around, so I find myself constantly doing math dividing the pot by the limit, and my arithmetic isn't really that quick.

Is there any special tactic that you use or have you been playing the same limit for so long that you pretty much know the math?

Thanks

I guess this seems obvious, but ... invest in a calculator? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I really think a calculator is actually slower, and will basically turn you into non thinking robot. Just something you get quicker at with practice.

having to use a calculator is pretty sad. should be easy if you learned your multiplication tables in 3rd grade.

Can't you just right the odds on paper, put them on a wall and count your outs. The rest is pretty easy unless you are a moron.

I'm usually playing wearing the profeesional poker players unfirom (my boxers). So my fingers and toes are easily viewable for the quick math that is needed.

Mostly it's very simple addition and division, you just have to do it quickly.

It can get you flustered if you don't have the odds down cold, or just because of the speed it can all happen at. Like most things, though, practice makes all the difference. You'll probably get comfy with it after a while. I felt okay doing two tables right away, but three and especially four tables it took me quite a while to get used to. You'll get there eventually.

You'll get used to it. If it's too much now just cut down to one less table. Where is screw up is when I'm working on moving up in limits and so I'm play 3 tables at .5-1 and on of 1-2 and I always ending up using the wrong limit on a table.
