How many tables do you play?

[Sponger15SB]

just wait until you get heads up at 3 tables at once, then you'll know what pressure is.

Thats what I usually do Hiding. I start a new table every time another one is about to hit level 3, which averages 2 tables at a time, simetimes with a 3rd added in at the tail end of the 1st table.

Sponge, it isn't the "pressure" that gets to me, because you have plenty of time to make each decision since you can make the decision in less than a second. The thing is that I feel that if I don't pay attention to the tables, I won't be making the best decision because I don't have a read on the players. I feel that I need to pay more attention to SnG's than Ring games because of the importance of the shorthanded play and the importance each hand has at the end when people are going all in.

Newbie question. How do you guys play so many SnG's at one time? I could play 4 NLHE ring games at one time no problem (probably even more), but not so with SnG's. Whenever I have 2 tables in the money it gets pretty frantic. I find that when it gets shorthanded reads are a lot more important and that missing a read can easily cost me the tournement.

I think I do occasionally miss a read on an opponent in an sng because I play four at once, but I believe my expected extra return from playing more tables at once more than makes up for the slight drop in quality of play resulting from dividing my attention. My winnings are probably less than four times what they would be playing a single table, but they're still a lot more than they would be just playing one or two. I also think there's a positive aspect to playing several at once, which is it's easier to be patient and not make loose calls just to get some action since there's usually something going on at one table or another.

I play 8 tables of 3/6 or 5/10. I learned how to play hold'em about 8 months ago and I've been playing online for about 7 months. Been playing 8 tables for about 3 months now.

Also I think I'm gonna try 12 soon, I know I can do it probably, but I only have a laptop with 1400x1000 resolution so a lot of buttons will be overlapping.

4 tables are a good way atleast for me whenever I wanna clear a bonus=)

One 15 HE
One 10 or 20, O8 or one 3/6 PLO8.

Peace,

If playing:
- Limit HE - 2-3 tables, used to be mostly 2 but I've recently added the the third
- SnG's - at most 2.
- PLO8 - as many good $50 - $100 games as I can find (usually 1!)
