Multi-tabling and Seven Card Stud
 

I'm a Texas holdem-player, and I have started to look at seven Card Stud. When I play holdem i multi-tabling.

What do you stud-players think about multi-tabling Seven card Stud? You lose some information not remembering the hands other people folded. How important is this? Is Stud a game which not so good for multi-tabling?

Best regards,

If you play at a table where pairing the doorcard means nothing, multi table all you want.

Yeah, Micro Limit Stud is definitely beatable without remembering upcards. Just bet what you have got.

You can see when your opponent pairs his doorcard.

Yes, it sucks that you don't know if another exposed card was out. That is probably the biggest problem with multitabling stud. But just like hold 'em, stud is less profitable per table but more profitable per hour if you multitable.

Most important is when you are involved in a playable hand that you get a peek at the other upcards before they're folded. Sometimes, you even get screwed on this and it is awful when you are in late position with (47)4 or something.

I can't even multi-table playing hold'em. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I like playing a couple of tables of hold'em with just one table of stud mixed in, preferably hi/lo. Downside is when you get dealt a 3-2 in hold'em and almost click raise before you realize what game you are playing.

Not being able to remember which cards are live has got to be a disadvantage in any stud game.

eg. Your opponent gets A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] on 5th street and bets. But you can't remember how many Aces or Spades have been seen already. That can't be good.

Or suppose you need to fill a boat on the last card to win. Knowing how many of your outs are live makes the difference between folding and calling.

Here's my view on multi-tabling; it's okay in moderation, like anything. I know a jack-ass who is a complete action-junkie who insists on playing upwards of 6 tables simultaneously. Just the other day this fool was playing 8 sit n' go tournaments at the same time. The idiot was constantly timing out and missing valuable information, but assured me that if he stuck to his 'ABC' game, he could afford to miss valuable information, and still increase his overall hourly rate. Basically what I'm trying to say is that if your missing out on what's going on at your table your obviously at a disadvantage, so it really depends what it's worth to you.

You can play 2 stud tables at once and remember the cards on both tables with practice ... it's a little like playing 2 simultaneous blindfold chess games. Table 1, hold these cards, table 2, switch context and hold these cards. It's a lot of work, I actually think the biggest downside of 2 tables is what you miss in the play.

I like 1 stud, 1 omaha/holdem. You can sit out of the stud game when you get a flop hand without penalty.

Re: Multi-tabling and Seven Card Stud
 

I don't play much stud any more, in part because holdem is much better suited to multi-tabling. I can play two stud tables, but no more. The trouble with multi-tabling stud is that it is very easy to miss seeing the board cards of players who fold. This is critical information in stud. If you miss this information, you may be playing a dead hand and not realize it. A big monitor with no overlap might help, if you can actually pay attention to more than one table at a time. Personally, I can't really do that.
