how can you deduce that i dont know how to play poker from my post. please provide your reasoning. your post made me laugh.

[/ QUOTE ]

Okay, here's my deduction.

[ QUOTE ]
Overtime, it just doesn't happen for the vast vast majority of people. Knowing this, why would you spend so much time in front of a computer with 5 games going, like crazed dogs, just waiting for that stellar hand that pulls in a quick buck...

[/ QUOTE ]

This isn't the mentality of a winning player. And that's not how online multitablers think.

[ QUOTE ]

fact is, you could earn 10x the amount of money you earn in one sitting with 5 tables open if you just spent the same amount of time doing something productive, like work.


[/ QUOTE ]

I have a regular job. Most posters here do as well.

[ QUOTE ]

why ruin a game by populating the player field with money-grubbing fools...


[/ QUOTE ]

What exactly do you think the point of poker is? You're playing for money.

[ QUOTE ]

who dont even put their minds into each game, but rather wait to see pocket aces come up on one of their 5 screens going at once?


[/ QUOTE ]

If anything, it takes more brain power to make quick decisions at multiple tables than it does to sit on your duff in a casino and look at 25 hands per hour.

Also, anyone who plays a "waiting for aces" strategy will get slaughtered online. Especially at LIMIT poker.

In conclusion: waPOWN.

I'm curious. How does someone who plays for a living 25 to 30 hours per week have "no life", as opposed to the full lives that are being lead by people with 40 to 60 hour/per week "real" jobs?

To the OP,

There's a reason that so many players play multiple tables. There's a reason that so many people in this thread are disagreeing with you. Think about this.

as far as table selection, go to playerveiws site at
http://home.comcast.net/~amirpc/

and look at the layouts, especailly Aces_McCoy's. I use a setup similar to his. I sort tables by ave pot, put my name on all the lists and take the first seats that come up. I play 20 hands at each table than glance at the VPIP and preflop raise and aggression stats. If there is lots of red at the table I leave when the blinds come. If lots of green, I'm where I want to be. Every 10 min or so I scan the tables I'm at to see if I should leave any. As you can see in the picture, you can see if its a good or bad table with a glance.

Illunious has said he generally plays 8 to 10 tables.

Anyway, I was just curious what others think out there. I know there are some players who have had success multitabling, and I wish it to continue. I just haven’t seen the same success as when I just carefully choose the table I sit at with a lot of fish and enjoy a nice “Seafood Dinner”!

Much success,
Wombles

Hi Wombles,

Like many hobbies, professions that people first take on I think I just takes time to learn and takes even more time to master. There are too many players who think they spend a few dollars on books, play less than a year and think they should ultimately beat or crush the game. I spent a good 2 years taking losses, learning things the hard way before I started becoming a winner player. I don't have the gift or talent some of these 2+2'ers have to somehow "instantly" crush the online games for 2-4 BB/100.

But that doesn't mean it's not achievable, it just means that it takes more time for me. It also means that it might take more or less time for other people.

If you are a solid player and learn from your mistakes and apply it, you'll eventually get to that next level or two. It just depends how long.

Lawrence
