OT: 81,000 players on party

unknown that's just asinine. the new software allows you to 10-table, the current one allows 4-tabling. do you really think fish are going to play more than 4 tables at once? they won't be the ones using the new software; the tag's will.

That's not necessary.

You can ten table now.

And even before Party allowed 10 tabling anyone who wanted to multitable past 4 tables could find a way to do so with very little trouble.

The tags have been multitabling since october. I've been playing 7 tables plus since the split. The new software just makes multitabling "easier". I still prefer to have tables overlap, and the beta software is constantly crashing. After using beta for a few hours I switched back to the old client. This seems to be what most people are doing. I doubt the increase in numbers is due to the beta software.

Could always do >4 tables ma'am.

Fish could possibly try going for more than 4.

I don't see how this is hurting anything.

I don't see how this is bringing new light to TAGs. They didn't know they could multitable before? Please.

Fish are the ones that we need to encourage to multitable, and I'm pretty sure this is what the new software will be doing.

Fish are players too.

Have we had to start signalling on topic threads in the Zoo now?

Multitabling may very well be a factor in Party's recent jump in player numbers.....won't argue that.

But keep in mind that large parts of the country have been hit by cold...and now very cold+snowy weather. In southern Missouri where I live, current windchill is 4 degrees and it is snowing. It's worse in Kansas City.

This may be business as usual up north, but it is unusally cold for us for mid-December. Probably a good chance that a long, cold winter in significant areas of the country could drive up poker room numbers at many rooms for the next 2-3 months.

In warmer weather, fish can often find other things to do besides play poker.....

I moved it here from the STT forum.

I agree that multitablers are bad news. Even so, I often write off multi-tablers as solid players, there's guys I follow that four table and are huge donators, they play fewer hands, but play them poorly.
