Default Four Players who Multitable the $30s at my table

I'm playing at a table w/ three other players who are playing 2 or more SNGs at the $30s.

Assuming these are winning players, and they are all acting before one after another... do I loosen my calling standards here?

Well, assuming that they're somewhat like you, you can probably see through a lot of their plays and pick up some pots. "Loosening your calling standards" is too vague an idea for me to know if it's right here.

Loosening calling standards when they push is what I had in mind. Perhaps I call with QJs where I normally wouldn't. But I'm not going to do that regardless.

Don't think so concretely. Why do you call pushes with more? Because in SOME spots you know they will push with a much wider range of hands than other players, and you can't muck your Ax like you would vs a weak tightie.

But there are so many other spots where knowing their style can help, that's just one of them. Keep your eyes open.

this is a silly post...this is not rocket science or zen buddhism, its a $30 sit n go.

i didn't understand the meaning of 'loosen your calling standards'...yes you definately should. though rather than QJs i'd say any ace or any any pair or KQ and those kinds of hands...not auto call, but think about it.

I'm shocked at how many bad multitabelers there are. A couple of days ago by far the worst player at two of my tables was the same person.

making looser calls is not exactly the greatest thing you can do. if they ARE good players, they will fold their blinds more, so just ramp up the push agression, and never lay off. dont try to make a 'good call' that puts yerself in a coinflip situation on the bubble. holla

It depends on whether or not the other players know that you know who they are or not.

Generally you can have looser calling standards in some situations....but more likely you will want to push when they're in the big blind whenever you get the opportunity.
