Multi-tabling

[deadlydaveLDN]

I've always been a multi-tabler (if you include 2+ tables) but (apart from a brief experiment tiling 9 tables of 10NL) I've generally stuck to a max of 4 at once. I decided to experiment 12-tabling 25NL 6-max today, after reading an article which suggested stacking tables (ie putting them all on top of each other) instead of spreading them around the screen. The main advantages of this are - You barely have to move the mouse around, saving valuable time to think about decisions. - Once you've made your decision you move onto another table (which pops up) and another decision, and don't see your bad beats once you're all in. - It's possible to play around 1000 hands/hr The main disadvantage is that you lose some reads and have to play a slightly more ABC game. But using HEM or PT helps with this. I've played just short of 2000 hands so far (tiny, tiny sample), running at 15BB/100 playing 20/16 (although according to HEM I'm running 0.6 buy-ins above EV). Going to try to play 100k hands over the next month or so and see what kind of stats I've got by the end of it. I'd probably be happy with 5BB/100. Anyway, just wondering what other people's multi-tabling habits/experience is like.

Re: Multi-tabling What software are you doing this on? I think that's a VERY significant issue. I wouldnt trust it to work on the likes of Boss/iPoker/microgaming etc, but should be better on Full Tilt and Pokerstars. I tried it once, quite a while ago, and kept timing out, and not knowing I had timed out (STTs) so then they just weren't popping up and I was getting blinded away. Could be seriously tempted to give it another go.
