10 tables at once all day long! unusual?

#1 10-12-2005, 11:03 AM

Hi All.
New here but love the magazine and forum.

Would anyone care to express an opinion on this situation?

I've noticed a player on party who seems to play all day and night (not that unusual on it's own).
They play up to 10 tables at once until all 10 games are over, then start to play 10 more (not unheard of but 10 games at once is pretty hard going).
They've got a pretty good ITM of 43%; I don't know their ROI.
They NEVER chat (again not that unusual).
They always play $20 SNG (why not if winning consistently and playing 10 at once at 43% ITM soon adds up).

So do you think they are just a good player who sticks to what works and has 3 monitors going, or is it something more sinister?

Cheers Purp

If you really are suspicious, just email Party.

There have been bots that played the $22s but ITM of 43% sounds high.

There is also a player here that plays rather a lot of them, but it is likely that he hasn't moved to Party yet.

It is a level where some people can play a lot of games without much thought, so it's unlikely (but possible) to be sinister.

i could venture a guess as to who it is. but don't worry about it, its not anything to be concerned with.

Also, if that ITM figure is from a certain stats website, the figure is almost certainly too high.

"I've noticed a player on party who seems to play all day and night (not that unusual on it's own)."

It's true, some guys here are happy to make six figs a year with no life [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

"They play up to 10 tables at once until all 10 games are over, then start to play 10 more (not unheard of but 10 games at once is pretty hard going)."

You are aware that there are quite a few people who play more than 10 tables at a time, and there'd be a few who play as many as 20.

If you're talking about raptor, I don't think he's putting in those hours and I think he's playing 109s right now anyway.

Ok thanks for you thoughts. i knew 10 tabling was possible but not seen it much, also the 43% was from my poker office not "a certain stats website" although that site shows very similar figures.

i wasn't very suspicious but i am interested in how often you see this (or how many players can do it).

cheers all
