Default Re: Multitabling Techniques?

I started the year playing 1 table $10's. Everytime I added another table my results would get worse and I ended up making actual notes to myself saying "play one 1 table at a time".

The key to multitabling (unless you are naturally able to) is training your mind. As a few replies have already stated, this cant be done simply by going from 1 to 4 tables.

My year roughly went along the lines ....

1 tabling
2 tabling
1 tabling
2 tabling
4 tabling
2 tabling
4 tabling
6 tabling
4 tabling
8 tabling (current)

I would say im definately not a natural multitabler, but playing 8 tables seems very easy now. Practice is the only thing that will make multitabling ALOT easier over time.

I'd suggest MTH (multi tabler helper), and programs such as poker tracker/PA HUD etc to make it easier for you

I think it's a bad idea to intentionally distract yourself.

Learning to multi-table full ring rather than 6max is a good idea, as is briefly stepping down in limits.

I've been multitabling for 6 months or so, and am starting to do 4 6-max tables on the 2001FP and 4 on the laptop monitor (WUXGA). The main issue I've found is that since I play $2-4 and/or $3-6, bonuswhoring accounts for a good portion of my BBs earned. This means that I'm opening new accounts and playing on different software. Not being used to how the different rooms' software functions can be a hindrance (e.g. I hate having a Bet365 6-max table going with all of these others b/c it doesn't catch my attention fast enough).

To sum up, music=good, tv=bad. Other things, like surfing 2+2 and AIM come with time. GL.
