Default Trying Multitabling SNG\'s

I am considering trying to multitable SNG's. Of course starting with 2 until comfortable, then add.

My question is should I stagger the tourneys so it hopefully reduces the chance of having 2 or more tables at bubble at the same time.

Or is this not a big deal in real life?

Regards,

the Dragon

Big deal in real life? Not sure what this means.

I play 4 at a time. I like to fire up 2 and wait about 1/2 hr, before firing up the next 2. There is not a rule around this, it's more about what your comfortable with.

I assume "in real life" means "in practice".

I play on 5 tables, and start them all consecutively. I don't have any trouble with it.

Perhaps you should stagger when you start, although I think that's less necessary when you're only playing two. I continuously play 8 now, without trouble, but the first time I played two I freaked out. So just take it easy.

A lot of people do this at first, after a few times you will probably find this unnecessary. Add tables as you get bored / feel comfortable. Good luck and welcome to the boards.

The opposing view (which suits me personally) is that it's quite difficult to switch your mindset between everyone being level on the bubble at 100-200, and then back to the other game where you are 8-handed at 25-50.

I personally like all games to be at the same stage.

Whatever floats your boat. I tried staggering the starts, but I was constantly switching between games at different levels. Now I start four at a time. If I bust out of one very early I'll start another. When I finish the set I take a piss and start over.

It's a matter of preference. I like to start all at the same time, this way I am at similar stages in all my tournaments, therefore my thinking will be similar. I have tried playing staggered but have found it harder switching speeds from one table to another.

If you stagger them, you don't get a break. I like to reset and recharge after an hour.
