I find that to be an effective way as if i start them all at the same time im not really biased towards concentrating on a specific sng, and so each gets it's fair share of attention paid to it. Whereas if i stagger them, i tend to focus more on some than others, and therefore not play as well in the others, if you catch my drift.

[/ QUOTE ]I find that it is sometimes a good thing to be paying less attention to some of the games -- I am much less likely to get involved with marginal hands if I have 4 tables going and something worth paying attention to at one of the other tables. For me, not paying as much attention often means playing more disciplined.

I like to start all my games as quickly as possible so that they are all about the same blind level. This way switching back and forth between tables means one less bit of information changing. But, when I bust out of a game or two early, I fire up replacements. If I get towards ITM in all my games, I won't start any new ones until the whole set is done.

I suspect that the trouble you are having moving to multiple tables is that you are thinking too much. The more you play by routine the better able to multi-table you'll become.
