Easier to bluff when multitabling?
 
I've been multitabling more these days. It seems to have the bonus effect of making me more fearless. This may be attributed to:

1) The amount that I'm betting/bluffing is now a smaller percent of the amount that I have at the tables (since I'm playing more tables).
2) When faced with a big decision, another decision on another tables usually comes up. More often than not, this forces me to go with my gut rather than having the time to think about how much I'll lose if I'm wrong.
3) I'm not a very good liar, and I'm usually fairly uncomfortable bluffing and then having to sit there waiting for my opponent to make a decision (and obviously I need to work on this for live play). When multitabling, I can just do it more automatically, and then turn my attention to another table.

Does anyone else find this to be true?

You forgot to mention the fact that, as a multitabler, you have a much tighter image.

Hmm. I always take my time. I think its easier to bluff with less tables. I think about hands not autopilot.

Hm. True I suppose. Although I didn't necessarily mean that my bluffs were more successful, only that it is easier for me to make them. Or rather, I am less afraid of bluffing.

Do you mean that it's easier to recognize bluffing opportunities? Or simply that you are more prepared to make them?
