| 05 Oct | And I Thought 5 Tables Was Hard...Posted by PokerBarney on 11:03AM, 5th Oct 2006Permalink |  Send to a friend |  RSS feed |
We know that multi-tabling makes poker go "faster", in the sense that you get to be a part of more action since you have more chance to get playable situations (not cards!), but this is insane.
I've heard of pros 10-tabling SNGs but to play 20!? Madness.
I find my limit for cash games is 3. Any more than that and I can't stay on top of the action and I end up timing out a lot of the time, or not having enough seconds on the clock to make a good decision. This might be because I play short handed though.. I would guess that with full 10-max tables I could probably manage 5 or so simultaneously.
Of course, there is the added incentive that playing multi tables will increase your profits proportionally. In theory, if you make 1xBB at 1 table, you'll make 10xBB playing 10 tables. It's never that easy though, is it?
I enjoy spotting heavy multi-tablers at my micro cash games though. They're the ones I can push around more easily, since they often are flicking between several games and so may not be keeping as close of an eye on me. Bigger bets seem to take down more pots, since they know that they can sit and wait for the next good hand - which isn't far off if you've got 20 windows open!
If the chances of being dealt AA is 220-1 at a single table, at 20 tables (playing hand for hand) the chances of getting AA drops to 11-1. Rockets every 11 hands - brilliant :)
