Does anyone 4-table Stud Hi?

It is possible to multi-table Stud Hi? I'd imagine that Hi/Lo would be even harder. What's the most tables you play?

I tried playing two, that's about enough, I can barely remember the cards.

I've done 3 and it was a terrible idea. Two is doable you have to get used to it though.

I could probably 20-table $.02/$.04...

considering what a rock you are, you could probably 20 table the 5/10

Two was my max at infant stud 8 and decided to leave it at one table with 4 NLHE tables and one PLO, it's kind of disorienting.

I think it is really difficult to four table stud unless you hit the sit out next hand button everytime you get something worth playing.

I used to do this but i find playing limit poker and big-bet poker at the same time very confusing.

Now I either 1-table stud with 5 full ring LHE games or just play straight NLHE with sometimes one-table of PLO if I find a real juicy game.

I have a good short term memory, so I can do four tables. On the other hand, thats usually a bad idea, because I'll end up with 2 or 3 playable hands at a time, and then get distracted. Also, if someone calls me on the phone, they don't appreciate it when I mumble "dead clubs, 7,9,t,J, pair of 3s, ace, one diamond" every few seconds.

3 tables is better for me, but even then, I don't like to open them all at once. I tend to open one or two at once, figure out how my opponents are playing, and then open a third if I like the first two games enough to stay in them.

Also, if one of your games is short, its a bad idea to multitable because you'll often be stuck in at least one hand.

Stud does have some advantages for multitabling though. If you need to take a bathroom break, you don't have to wait for your blind like in hold em. There's no such thing as "post ante plus dead". The same thing goes for if you are in a big hand. U can just click "deal me out" at your other tables if you want.

Best,
