weak players lose; average players multi-table

[Dlink 0]

I'm bored so I'm going to create some excitement.Here is the crux of it -- weak players lose; average players multi-table; players who want to advance learn to crush single tables and move up in limits.People who play 4, 6 or 8 tables at once do not get the same benefit nor do they advance as fast as people who play 1 or at the most 2. If your goal is to be a "human bot" multi tabling is fine, if however you want to improve your game and move up and be able to compete in the high limits you are better of playing 1 table and learning how to maximize your revenue from it.Flame away!

umm ok,I play 1 table and hypothetically make $10 an hourI play 2 tables, and make $6 an hour at each.Although I'm not as good on 2 tables as 1, I'm making $2 more an hour.Nice try.

True but because you can't pay attention to the tables your learning curve is reduced (seeing more hands only helps with maths and systemization), therefor your skills don't progress as fast as someone else. When you reach the point where multi-tabling is not an option you are at a disadvantage. That is also the time where your hourly rate should be in the 100's or 1000's and the difference in skill there will be worth a lot more than $2 / hour.

I'd like to think that playing more than 3 tables is a dissadvantage. Your playing your cards, and odds. You miss out on playing your opponents. Unless you have people tagged, you wont be able to get good reads off people who are constantly raising with any 2 face cards, or w.e. and yadda yadda yadda, that is it

Agreed which is why you should only multi when building bankroll to move to next limit.I wouldn't suggest starting at 2/4 with 3 tables going. Once you get used to the limit you're playing at, then you should multi.Also, using pokertracker to analize certain hands after they happen is an advantage, so you don't completely miss what happened.

Wouldn't reccommend even 3 tables for NL-I only do three because I'm trying to clear this ridiculous Full Tilt bonus, and I really should do only two, since I'm not winning that much...Note to self: Only play two tables NL

Actually. funny you bring this up.. the site i play at is not compatible with poker tracker.. what exactly does poker tracker do for you??

[Royal_Tour 0]

Ok never mind. i just read up on it. This is all well and good., but what about players you have yet to tag?

I agree with the original post. I'd add that that a mix of multi and single tabling is good and the key is finding the right limits to play at for each.And for god's sake if you don't use pokertracker for online play you are a dolt.

Thats the reason limit is better than NL for ring games IMHO in limit, one mistake won't cost you 1/10 of your bankroll

i have them all tagged by the time i post in. i just sit out for 2 orbits before i post, and let tracker do its thing. i ALWAYS have everyone tagged. I guarantee you i am getting more valuable experience by 4 tabling than you are by concentrating on 1. you may be getting reads, but i could do that if i really wanted to, and meanwhile im seeing 200+ hands/hr.

Of course you're forgetting sites like Full Tilt which are incompatible with either the Bison convertor OR poker Tracker :(I'm definitely getting it when I go to Party later after I clear this bonus

shouldn't have 1/10 of your bankroll at a table for NL. . .

And for god's sake if you don't use pokertracker for online play you are a dolt.Woh woh.. slow down. The site i've been with for about a year now is not comatible. I've just switched to UB. so i'll give pokertracker a shot.

he's not trying to be mean. but, with that said, you are basically at an enourmous disadvantage to any opponent using the program. ENORMOUS. at a glance, theyll know if you fold to blind steals, if you like to checkraise the turn, if you play too many hands, if you slowplay the flop, if you raise out of position, how often you go to showdown when you see a flop, hell they might as well know what you had for breakfast. and meanwhile, Dlink is sitting there concentrating on getting some 'reads'. lol.

I also find when I play at a single table I get bored, and start to get a little antsy and play hands I shouldn't due to boredom.

As an aside, pokertracker is also tremendously useful for tracking your own play and seeing clear leaks in your game. That alone is worth the price several times over. Pokertracker stats don't lie (unless you fudge your imports!) - and many poker players do.Royal_Tour, what site do you play on? Is the action that good?

very good point. ive got a huge leak with AQo and i am gonna spend tonite reviewing all the pots of played with it in the last 10k hands. pokertracker replays them for me in a visual format. i can sort them by position, blinds, coldcalled a raise, went to showdown, etc. etc.

I like fudging my numbers to make myself think I'm a winning player. Its all about perception to me. I mean who really wants to know if they have a leak in their game [sw]. Maybe one day i'll invest, who knows.On a side note, elkang you need to book a trip to AC on June 16th/17th. I'll be at the Borgata, we can play hold'em all night

Royal_Tour, what site do you play on? Is the action that good?I played at Tiger gaming since it started. Its horrible and I hate it. But a lot of money can be made from that site. Mostly canadians play on it.But i like UB now. been there for 2 weeks.
