I 4-5 table and all I hear is crikets. I write emails, surf the net, read a little as Im playing. To me its only hectic at the beginning when u first sit down if u are in position at each table to post or start up.

Spend some time on it and then start opening more tables as u play, u get the hang of it.

If you feel that you are struggling with 4-tabling i think you should try to just add tables until its just impossible for a couple of hours.
After that going back to 4 will seem easy.

That's a nice way to dump money. Just hang out at 4, you'll get used to it.

I usually 4 table.
I just 6 tabled for the first time last night.
I have a 15 inch monitor from years ago.

It was a challenge.
I think I'll get a new monitor before I try it again (who am I kidding...)

Ooops, intended to say that you move down in limits while doing this.

You will always be sacraficing BB/100 winrate when you multi-table.

Personally I think you are better off playing less tables for the time being. There is a lot to learn in this game, and it is hard to learn much of it when you are rushing around to punch buttons.

This is not to say that some people are not succesful doing this. But I imagine the majority of people should play less tables and pay more attention to them.

I'd rather 1 table higher stakes if I had a choice

You do have a choice.

work up to it.. It gets alot easier. And if you cant handle it then dont play that many tables its definately -EV. but in a few months of adding tables you will be able to handle it

I agree with this. I moved to 0.50/1.00 to start 8-tabling. I got really overwhelmed, but then got used to it.

The more you play (any number of tables), the easier it is. Your descisions come faster, and decisions that used to take 10 seconds become instant. I first had some trouble moving to 4-tables, and that's boring for me now. 8-tabling was insanely frantic the first time I did it, now I watch TV as I play.

Having two 1600x1200 monitors really helps too.
