How the hell do you 8-table??
I'm not talking about the nuts-and-bolts of setting up a second account; I'm talking about pure-and-simple sanity issues.
If I try 4-tabling, I get so frazzled by the speed of the action that I wind up screwing up left and right, mostly by playing too many hands and going too far with them. How can you pay enough attention to eight different tables to play a winning game?

If your hand action is as slow-reading as your longwinded cliche-ridden posts, no wonder you can't 4-table. [/ QUOTE ] I laughed. Also, some fish on my 5/10 table just called check-call check-call check-called his AA the whole way, no flush or straights possible. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] Maybe he's 8-tabling.

Re: How the hell do you 8-table??
I assume for most it is a learned skill (for a few, an inate skill). I sometimes 4-table on my laptop, but I don't have the rig (desktop; correct monitor) to 4-table regularly, let alone 8-table. My personal view is that my game becomes stale / less than I'm capable of if I do much more than 3-table -- that is a reflection of my own abilities as much as anything else. I play as a hobby (hopefully a lucrative hobby) and not having to maximize my earn allows me to play less tables than I might otherwise be capable of (and I feel I play them better than I would if I were to add a few).

Re: How the hell do you 8-table??
When I first tried two tabling, it seemed far too fast. Now when I two-table I get bored. Four tabling at first also seemed ridiculously fast, but after a week it felt pretty normal. I haven't stepped it up above 4 yet because I don't want to without another monitor, but I assume it will be the same way. Crazy at first, but you get used to it.

Re: How the hell do you 8-table??
I admire anyone that can multi-table more than 3. I usually misclick like crazy when I have three tables all with good starting hands plus my hand gets tired. tried it with .50/1 limit at PP and my earn rate was just dropping way too much. I'd rather 1 table higher stakes if I had a choice, but that's just me. [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Re: How the hell do you 8-table??
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.
